Isaiah 59:13-15
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 59:13-15
Contemporary English Version
13 We have rebelled and refused
to follow you.
Our hearts were deceitful,
and so we lied;
we planned to abuse others
and turn our backs on you.
14 Injustice is everywhere;
justice seems far away.
Truth is chased out of court;
honesty is shoved aside.
15 Everyone tells lies;
those who turn from crime
end up ruined.
The Lord Will Rescue His People
When the Lord noticed
that justice had disappeared,
he became very displeased.
Isaiah 59:13-15
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)
