King James Version with Apocrypha
"And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter."
— Isaiah 59:14, King James Version with Apocrypha
“And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.”
“And justice is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter. ”
“Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness can't enter.”
“Justice is driven back; godliness stands far off. Indeed, honesty stumbles in the city square and morality is not even able to enter.”
“And judgment is turned away backward, and justice hath stood far off: because truth hath fallen down in the street, and equity could not come in.”
“And the right is turned back, and righteousness is far away: for good faith is not to be seen in the public places, and upright behaviour may not come into the town.”
We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.
