Isaiah 59:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 For our transgressions before you are many,
our sins bear witness against us.
Our transgressions are present to us,
and our crimes we acknowledge:
13 Transgressing, and denying the Lord,
turning back from following our God,
Planning fraud and treachery,
uttering lying words conceived in the heart.
14 Judgment is turned away,
and justice stands far off;
For truth stumbles in the public square,
and uprightness cannot enter.(A)
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.
