Isaiah 59:14-16

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁴Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far off.
For truth has stumbled in the public square,
and honesty cannot enter.
¹⁵Truth is missing,
and whoever turns from evil is plundered.

The Lord saw that there was no justice,
and he was offended.
¹⁶He saw that there was no man –
he was amazed that there was no one interceding;^(A)
so his own arm brought salvation,
and his own righteousness supported him.
