Isaiah 59:14-15
New American Standard Bible
14 (A)Justice is turned back,
And (B)righteousness stands far away;
For truth has stumbled in the street,
And uprightness cannot enter.
15 Truth is lacking,
And one who turns aside from evil (C)makes himself a prey.
Now the Lord saw,
And it was [a]displeasing in His sight (D)that there was no justice.

14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
