12 For our transgressions before you are many,
    and our sins testify against us.
Our transgressions indeed are with us,
    and we know our iniquities:(A)
13 transgressing and denying the Lord
    and turning away from following our God,
talking oppression and revolt,
    conceiving lying words and uttering them from the heart.(B)

    and deliverance stands at a distance,
for truth stumbles in the public square,
    and uprightness cannot enter.(C)

    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.
