13rebelliony and treachery against the Lord,

turning our backsz on our God,

inciting revolt and oppression,a

uttering liesb our hearts have conceived.

14So justicec is driven back,

and righteousnessd stands at a distance;

truthe has stumbled in the streets,

honesty cannot enter.

NLTNew Living Translation

We know we have rebelled and have denied the Lord.

We have turned our backs on our God.

We know how unfair and oppressive we have been,

carefully planning our deceitful lies.

Our courts oppose the righteous,

and justice is nowhere to be found.

Truth stumbles in the streets,

and honesty has been outlawed.

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.

And judgment is turned away backward,

And justice standeth afar off:

For truth is fallen in the street,

And equity cannot enter.
