Isaiah 59:13-15
GOD’S WORD Translation
13 We 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.
14 Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far away.
Truth has fallen in the street,
and honesty can’t come in.
15 Truth is missing.
Those who turn away from evil make themselves victims.
The Lord sees it, and he’s angry
because there’s no justice.
Isaiah 59:13-15
King James Version
13 In 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.
14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
15 Yea, 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.

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)
