Isaiah 59:12-14
Expanded Bible
12 ·We have done many wrong things [L For our sins/transgressions are many] ·against our God [L before you];
our sins ·show we are wrong [L testify against us].
·We know we have turned against God [L Our transgressions are with us];
we know the ·evil things [iniquities] we have done:
13 ·sinning [transgressing; rebelling] and ·rejecting [L lying against] the Lord,
turning ·away from [our backs to] our God,
·planning to hurt others and to disobey God [L speaking oppression and revolt],
·planning [conceiving] and speaking lies.
14 So we have driven away justice,
and ·we have kept away from what is right [L righteousness stands far off].
Truth ·is not spoken [stumbles] in the ·streets [public squares];
what is honest ·is not allowed to enter the city [L 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.
