Isaiah 59:13-15
Amplified Bible
Isaiah 59:13-15
Amplified Bible
13
Rebelling against and denying the Lord,
Turning away from [following] our God,
Speaking oppression and revolt,
Conceiving and muttering from the heart lying words.
14
Justice is pushed back,
And righteous behavior stands far away;
For truth has fallen in the city square,
And [a]integrity cannot enter.
15
Yes, truth is missing;
And he who turns away from evil makes himself a prey.
Now the Lord saw it,
And it [b]displeased Him that there was no justice.

New International Version
Isaiah 59:13-15
New International Version
13 rebellion(A) and treachery against the Lord,
turning our backs(B) on our God,
inciting revolt and oppression,(C)
uttering lies(D) our hearts have conceived.
14 So justice(E) is driven back,
and righteousness(F) stands at a distance;
truth(G) has stumbled in the streets,
honesty cannot enter.
15 Truth(H) is nowhere to be found,
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The Lord looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.(I)

Isaiah 59:13-15
King James Version
13 In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
