Isaiah 59:13-15

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹³ transgressing, and denying the Lord,
    and turning away from following our God,
talking oppression and revolt,
    conceiving lying words and uttering them from the heart.
¹⁴ Justice is turned back,
    and righteousness stands at a distance;
for truth stumbles in the public square,
    and uprightness cannot enter.
¹⁵ Truth is lacking,
    and whoever turns from evil is despoiled.
