Isaiah 59:12-14

English Standard Version

¹² For our transgressions are multiplied before you,
    and our sins testify against us;
for our transgressions are with us,
    and we know our iniquities:
¹³ transgressing, and denying the Lord,
    and turning back from following our God,
^(A)speaking oppression and revolt,
    conceiving and uttering from the heart lying words.

^14 (B)Justice is turned back,
    and righteousness stands far away;
for truth has stumbled in the public squares,
    and uprightness cannot enter.
