Isaiah 59:12-14
Amplified Bible
12
For our transgressions are multiplied before You [O Lord],
And our sins testify against us;
For our transgressions are with us,
And we know and recognize our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing]:
13
Rebelling against and denying the Lord,
Turning away from [following] our God,
Speaking oppression and revolt,
Conceiving and muttering from the heart lying words.
14
Justice is pushed back,
And righteous behavior stands far away;
For truth has fallen in the city square,
And [a]integrity cannot enter.

Isaiah 59:12-14
New International Version
12 For our offenses(A) are many in your sight,
and our sins testify(B) against us.
Our offenses are ever with us,
and we acknowledge our iniquities:(C)
13 rebellion(D) and treachery against the Lord,
turning our backs(E) on our God,
inciting revolt and oppression,(F)
uttering lies(G) our hearts have conceived.
14 So justice(H) is driven back,
and righteousness(I) stands at a distance;
truth(J) has stumbled in the streets,
honesty cannot enter.
