Isaiah 59:12-14

Lexham English Bible

¹² For our transgressions are numerous before you,
    and our sins testify^[a] against us.
Indeed, our transgressions are with us,
    and we know our iniquities:
¹³ transgressing and denying Yahweh,
    and turning away from following^[b] our God;
speaking oppression and falsehood,
    conceiving and uttering words of deception from the heart.
¹⁴ And justice is pushed back,
    and righteousness stands afar;
for truth stumbles in the public square,
    and straightforwardness is unable to enter,
