12 For our transgressions are multiplied before You,
and our sins testify against us,
for our transgressions are with us,
    and we know our iniquities:
13 transgressing and denying Adonai,
    turning back from following our God,
    speaking oppression and revolt,
    conceiving and uttering lying words from the heart.
14 Justice is turned back,
    and righteousness stands far off.
For truth has stumbled in the street,
    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.
