Isaias 59:14
And judgment is turned away backward, and justice hath stood far off: because truth hath fallen down in the street, and equity could not come in.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et conversum est retrorsum judicium, et justitia longe stetit, quia corruit in platea veritas, et æquitas non potuit ingredi.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ ἀπεστήσαμεν ὀπίσω τὴν κρίσιν, καὶ ἡ δικαιοσύνη μακρὰν ἀφέστηκεν· ὅτι καταναλώθη ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν ἡ ἀλήθεια, καὶ δι᾽ εὐθείας οὐκ ἐδύναντο διελθεῖν.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וְהֻסַּ֤ג אָחוֹר֙ מִשְׁפָּ֔ט וּצְדָקָ֖ה מֵרָח֣וֹק תַּעֲמֹ֑ד כִּֽי כָשְׁלָ֤ה בָֽרְחוֹב֙ אֱמֶ֔ת וּנְכֹחָ֖ה לֹא תוּכַ֥ל לָבֽוֹא
