and he looked for justice,
but behold, bloodshed; ▼
for righteousness,
but behold, an outcry! ▼

Judgment and Redemption
14 iJustice is turned back,and righteousness stands far away;
for truth has stumbled in the public squares,
and uprightness cannot enter.
15Truth is lacking,
and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
The Lord saw it, and it displeased him ▼
▼Hebrew and it was evil in his eyes
that there was no justice.
Malachi 3:5
5“Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be ka swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those lwho oppress the hired worker in his wages, mthe widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts.
