We have turned our backs on our God.
We know how unfair and oppressive we have been,
carefully planning our deceitful lies.
14 Our courts oppose the righteous,
and justice is nowhere to be found.
Truth stumbles in the streets,
and honesty has been outlawed.

and anyone who renounces evil is attacked.
The Lord looked and was displeased
to find there was no justice.

and righteousness(F) stands at a distance;
truth(G) has stumbled in the streets,
honesty cannot enter.

and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The Lord looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.(I)

New Living Translation
12 The blacksmith stands at his forge to make a sharp tool,
pounding and shaping it with all his might.
His work makes him hungry and weak.
It makes him thirsty and faint.
13 Then the wood-carver measures a block of wood
and draws a pattern on it.
He works with chisel and plane
and carves it into a human figure.
He gives it human beauty
and puts it in a little shrine.
14 He cuts down cedars;
he selects the cypress and the oak;
he plants the pine in the forest
to be nourished by the rain.
Isaiah 44:12-14

and works with it in the coals;

he drinks no water and grows faint.(C)
13 The carpenter(D) measures with a line
and makes an outline with a marker;
he roughs it out with chisels
and marks it with compasses.
He shapes it in human form,(E)
human form in all its glory,
that it may dwell in a shrine.(F)
14 He cut down cedars,
or perhaps took a cypress or oak.
He let it grow among the trees of the forest,
or planted a pine,(G) and the rain made it grow.
