Isa 59:14 | MHM | STEP | v. 14–15 : The people see that justice and truth are missing from their society. Judgment is turned away backward, and justice stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter (Isaiah 59:14 ). People ignore what is right, and those who want to do good are treated badly. If anyone tries to avoid evil, he becomes a target. The people admit that all of this displeases God, who sees everything. God is not happy that there is no justice or repentance among his people. Their lack of truth and justice brings even more trouble upon them.
