12 For our transgressions against you are numerous,
    and our sins bear witness against us.
We are unable to forget our offenses,
    and we are well aware of our iniquities:
13 our rebellion and our denial of the Lord
    and our turning away from following him,
threatening acts of oppression and revolt,
    and uttering lies conceived in our hearts.
14 Justice has been rebuffed
    and righteousness stands at a distance.
For truth stumbles in the public square
    and uprightness cannot enter.

    turning our backs(E) on our God,
inciting revolt and oppression,(F)
    uttering lies(G) our hearts have conceived.
14 So justice(H) is driven back,
    and righteousness(I) stands at a distance;
truth(J) has stumbled in the streets,
    honesty cannot enter.
