Isaiah 59:13-15
Common English Bible
13 defying and denying the Lord,
turning away from our God,
planning oppression and revolt,
muttering lying words conceived in our minds.
14 Justice is pushed aside;
righteousness stands far off,
because truth has stumbled in the public square,
and honesty can’t enter.
15 Truth is missing;
anyone turning from evil is plundered.
God will intervene
The Lord looked and was upset at the absence of justice.
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.
