Isaiah 59:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ Justice is driven away, and right cannot come near. Truth stumbles in the public square, and honesty finds no place there. ¹⁵ There is so little honesty that those who stop doing evil find themselves the victims of crime.”

The Lord Prepares to Rescue His People

The Lord has seen this, and he is displeased that there is no justice. ^16 (A)He is astonished to see that there is no one to help the oppressed. So he will use his own power to rescue them and to win the victory.
