Judgment and Redemption

14 ^hJustice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far away;
for truth has stumbled in the public squares,
and uprightness cannot enter.
15 Truth 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.

2 Thessalonians 2:10

10 and with all wicked deception for ^jthose who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
