“transgressing and denying Yahweh,and turning away from following our God,speaking oppression and revolt,conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.”
Isaiah 59:13 (WEB)
Context Reading
11We all roar like bearsand moan sadly like doves.We look for justice, but there is none,for salvation, but it is far off from us. 12For our transgressions are multiplied before you,and our sins testify against us;for our transgressions are with us,and as for our iniquities, we know them: 13transgressing and denying Yahweh,and turning away from following our God,speaking oppression and revolt,conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. 14Justice is turned away backward,and righteousness stands far away;for truth has fallen in the street,and uprightness can’t enter. 15Yes, truth is lacking;and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.Yahweh saw it,and it displeased him that there was no justice.
