23:059:012 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our
sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us;
and as for our iniquities, we know them;
23:059:013 In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing
away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving
and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
23:059:014 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth
afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot
enter.
23:059:015 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh
himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him
that there was no judgment.
23:059:016 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was
no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him;
and his righteousness, it sustained him.
23:059:017 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of
salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of
vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
23:059:018 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to
his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he
will repay recompence.
23:059:019 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
23:059:020 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
23:059:021 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
