Isaiah 59:14 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 59:14
'And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.' Personified virtues are in retreat: judgment turns back, justice stands distant, truth has fallen, equity is barred entry. The Hebrew 'nagas' (approach/enter) shows equity blocked from the public square.
