No one tells the truth in court anymore.

No one is honest there.

and righteousness stands far away;

for truth has stumbled in the public squares,

and uprightness cannot enter.

honesty cannot enter.

and honesty has been outlawed.

and straightforwardness is unable to enter,

And equity cannot enter.
