Isaiah 59:13-15 GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

¹³We have rebelled and denied the Lord.
We have turned away from our God.
We have spoken about oppression and revolt.
We have conceived and uttered lies in our hearts.
¹⁴Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far away.
Truth has fallen in the street,
and honesty can’t come in.
¹⁵Truth is missing.
Those who turn away from evil make themselves victims.

The Lord sees it, and he’s angry
because there’s no justice.

GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

Isaiah 59:13-15 New International Version (NIV)

¹³rebellion and treachery against the Lord,
    turning our backs on our God,
inciting revolt and oppression,
    uttering lies our hearts have conceived.
¹⁴So justice is driven back,
    and righteousness stands at a distance;
truth has stumbled in the streets,
    honesty cannot enter.
¹⁵Truth is nowhere to be found,
    and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.

The Lord looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.

New International Version (NIV)

Isaiah 59:13-15 King James Version (KJV)

¹³In 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.

¹⁴And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.

¹⁵Yea, 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.
