- ગુજરાતી — યશાયા ૫૯:૧૪
- ઇનસાફ પાછળ ઠેલી મુકાય છે અને ન્યાયીપણું દૂર ઊભું રહે છે; કેમ કે સત્ય જાહેર ચોકમાં ઠોકર ખાય છે અને પ્રામાણિકતા પ્રવેશ કરી શકતી નથી.
- हिन्दी — यशायाह ५९:१४
- न्याय तो पीछे हटाया गया और धर्म दूर खड़ा रह गया; सच्चाई बाजार में गिर पड़ी, और सिधाई प्रवेश नहीं करने पाती।
In context
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 the LORD, 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. The LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.
16He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor. Therefore his own arm brought salvation to him; and his righteousness sustained him.
