Isaiah 59:12-14

^{Tools
12}

For our ^(A)transgressions are multiplied before You,
And our ^(B)sins ^(a)testify against us;
For our transgressions are with us,
And ^(b)we know our iniquities:

^{Tools
13}

Transgressing and ^(C)denying the Lord,
And turning away from our God,
Speaking ^(D)oppression and revolt,
Conceiving in and ^(E)uttering from the heart lying words.

^{Tools
14}

^(F)Justice is turned back,
And ^(G)righteousness stands far away;
For truth has stumbled in the street,
And uprightness cannot enter.
