13 transgressing, and denying the Lord,
and turning back from following our God,
(A)speaking oppression and revolt,
conceiving and uttering from the heart lying words.
Judgment and Redemption
14 (B)Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far away;
for truth has stumbled in the public squares,
and uprightness cannot enter.
15 Truth is lacking,
and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
The Lord saw it, and it displeased him[a]
that there was no justice.
