and deliverance stands at a distance,
for truth stumbles in the public square,
and uprightness cannot enter.(B)

and whoever turns from evil is despoiled.
The Lord saw it, and it displeased him
that there was no justice.(C)

and righteousness(F) stands at a distance;

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