Isaiah 59:12-14

Complete Jewish Bible

¹² For our crimes multiply before you,
our sins testify against us;
for our crimes are present with us;
and our sins, we know them well:
¹³ rebelling and denying Adonai,
turning away from following our God,
talking about oppression and revolt,
uttering lies which our hearts have conceived.

¹⁴ Thus justice is repelled,
righteousness stands apart, at a distance;
for truth stumbles in the public court,
and uprightness cannot enter.
