Isaiah 59:13-14

Context

59:13 We have rebelled and tried to deceive the Lord;

we turned back from following our God.

We stir up 1  oppression and rebellion;

we tell lies we concocted in our minds. 2 

59:14 Justice is driven back;

godliness 3  stands far off.

Indeed, 4  honesty stumbles in the city square

and morality is not even able to enter.

1 tn Heb “speaking.” A new sentence was started here in the translation for stylistic reasons.

2 tn Heb “conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.”

3 tn Or “righteousness” (ASV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); KJV, NAB “justice.”

4 tn Or “for” (KJV, NRSV).
