12. Our rebellions are numerous in your presence;our sins testify against us.Our rebellions are with us;we’re aware of our guilt:
13. defying and denying the Lord, turning away from our God,planning oppression and revolt,muttering lying words conceived in our minds.
14. Justice is pushed aside;righteousness stands far off,because truth has stumbled in the public square,and honesty can’t enter.
15. Truth is missing;anyone turning from evil is plundered.The Lord looked and was upset at the absence of justice.
