Isaiah 59:12-15
English Standard Version Anglicised
Isaiah 59:12-15
English Standard Version Anglicised
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before you,
and our sins testify against us;
for our transgressions are with us,
and we know our iniquities:
13 transgressing, and denying the Lord,
and turning back from following our God,
(A)speaking oppression and revolt,
conceiving and uttering from the heart lying words.
14 (B)Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far away;
for truth has stumbled in the public squares,
and uprightness cannot enter.
15 Truth is lacking,
and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
Judgement and Redemption
The Lord saw it, and it displeased him[a]
that there was no justice.

Isaiah 59:12-15
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.
15 Truth(K) is nowhere to be found,
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The Lord looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.(L)

King James Version
Isaiah 59:12-15
King James Version
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
13 In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
