Isaiah 59:12-15

12For our 1wrongful acts have multiplied before You, And our 2sins have testified against us; For our wrongful acts are with us, And 3we know our wrongdoings:134Offending and 5denying the Lord, And turning away from our God, Speaking 6oppression and revolt, Conceiving and 7uttering lying words from the heart.148Justice is turned back, And 9righteousness stands far away; For truth has stumbled in the street, And uprightness cannot enter.15Truth is lacking, And one who turns aside from evil 10makes himself a prey. Now the Lord saw, And it was 11displeasing in His sight 12that there was no justice.
