Isaiah 59:13-15
New English Translation

13 We have rebelled and tried to deceive the Lord;
we turned back from following our God.
We stir up[a] oppression and rebellion;
we tell lies we concocted in our minds.[b]
14 Justice is driven back;
godliness[c] stands far off.
Indeed,[d] honesty stumbles in the city square
and morality is not even able to enter.
15 Honesty has disappeared;
the one who tries to avoid evil is robbed.
The Lord watches and is displeased,[e]
for there is no justice.
