Isaiah 59:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ Our courts oppose the righteous man; fairness is unknown. Truth falls dead in the streets, and justice is outlawed.

¹⁵ Yes, truth is gone, and anyone who tries a better life is soon attacked. The Lord saw all the evil and was displeased to find no steps taken against sin. ¹⁶ He saw no one was helping you and wondered that no one intervened. Therefore he himself stepped in to save you through his mighty power and justice.
