Isaiah 59:14
Isaiah 59:14 in Multiple Translations
So justice is turned away, and righteousness stands at a distance. For truth has stumbled in the public square, and honesty cannot enter.
And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
And justice is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.
And the right is turned back, and righteousness is far away: for good faith is not to be seen in the public places, and upright behaviour may not come into the town.
Justice is rejected, and doing right never happens. Truth falls down in the street, and honesty is banned.
Therefore iudgement is turned backewarde, and iustice standeth farre off: for trueth is fallen in the streete, and equitie cannot enter.
And removed backward is judgment, And righteousness afar off standeth, For truth hath been feeble in the street, And straightforwardness is not able to enter,
Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands far away; for truth has fallen in the street, and uprightness can’t enter.
And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
And judgment is turned away backward, and justice hath stood far off: because truth bath fallen down in the street, and equity could not come in.
In our courts, the judges do not decide cases/matters fairly; no one is acting righteously. In plazas where people gather together, no one tells the truth [PRS]; it seems that people are not allowed to say what is true.

Context — Sin Separates Us from God
12For our transgressions are multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us. Our transgressions are indeed with us, and we know our iniquities:
13rebelling and denying the LORD, turning away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering lies from the heart.
14So justice is turned away, and righteousness stands at a distance. For truth has stumbled in the public square, and honesty cannot enter.
15Truth is missing, and whoever turns from evil becomes prey. The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice. 16He saw that there was no man; He was amazed that there was no one to intercede. So His own arm brought salvation, and His own righteousness sustained Him.Cross References

Isaiah 59:14 Summary
This verse, Isaiah 59:14, is saying that when people reject God's truth and instead choose to do what is wrong, justice and righteousness are pushed aside, and honesty and truth are not allowed to enter. This leads to a society where evil and wickedness prevail, and people suffer as a result, as seen in Jeremiah 5:1. As believers, we are called to stand up for what is right and to be voices for truth and righteousness in a world that often rejects these values (Matthew 5:13-16). We can do this by living out our faith in practical ways, such as seeking justice and righteousness in our own lives and communities, and by being honest and truthful in all our interactions with others, as encouraged in Proverbs 10:9 and Ephesians 4:25.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for justice to be turned away and righteousness to stand at a distance?
This means that justice and righteousness are not being upheld in society, and instead, evil and wickedness are prevailing, as seen in Isaiah 59:14, and also in other passages like Jeremiah 5:1, where the prophet laments the lack of justice and righteousness in the land.
Why has truth stumbled in the public square according to Isaiah 59:14?
Truth has stumbled in the public square because people have rejected the truth of God's word and instead chosen to follow lies and deceit, as warned in Proverbs 12:17 and Romans 1:25, where it is written that exchanging the truth for a lie has severe consequences.
What is the result of honesty not being able to enter the public square?
When honesty cannot enter the public square, it leads to a breakdown of trust and morality in society, causing people to suffer and become prey to evil, as seen in Isaiah 59:15, where it is written that truth is missing and whoever turns from evil becomes prey.
How does this verse relate to the overall message of the book of Isaiah?
This verse is part of a larger theme in the book of Isaiah, which emphasizes the importance of justice, righteousness, and faithfulness to God, as seen in Isaiah 1:17, where the prophet calls the people to learn to do good and seek justice, and also in Isaiah 61:8, where God promises to establish everlasting justice and righteousness.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways in which justice and righteousness are being turned away in our own society today, and how can we as believers stand up for what is right?
- In what ways have I personally contributed to the stumbling of truth in my own life or community, and how can I work to restore honesty and integrity?
- How can I, as a follower of Christ, be a voice for truth and righteousness in a world that often rejects these values, as seen in Matthew 5:13-16, where Jesus teaches about being salt and light in the world?
- What does it mean for me to 'turn from evil' in my own life, and how can I practically live out this command in my daily choices and actions, as encouraged in Psalms 34:14 and 1 Thessalonians 5:22?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 59:14
And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off,.... Jarchi interprets this of the vengeance of God, and his righteousness in his judgments, not immediately executed; but it is to
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown 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.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 59:14
Judgment is turned away backward: he speaks here of the sentences and decrees in courts of judicature, which are carried quite contrary to right and justice. God denies you justice, as you have denied help to others. Justice standeth afar off: it notes the same thing with the former, to show that justice and judges are far asunder. Truth is fallen; a metaphor taken from a feeble person that wants support, without which he falls; thus truth hath none to support or patronize it: the same, only otherwise expressed, with . Truth is cast upon the ground, and justice trampled under foot. In the street, i.e. in public. Equity cannot enter; no such thing will be admitted in their courts; all corrupt, so that all equity and justice is violently kept off by the authority of the great ones.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 59:14
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.Ver. 14. And judgment is turned away backward.] Nihil amplius ex aequo et bono agitur; all is out of order, causes are carried the contrary way. Truth is fallen in the streets.] When the disputation at Oxford with Cranmer, Ridley, and Latimer, martyrs, was finished, Weston, the prolocutor, triumphed with Vicit veritas, whereas he should rather have said, Vicit potestas - not truth, but force, hath carried it. In the convocation at Paul’ s about the same time, when Philpot and other good men argued for the truth against the Popish prelates, it was said that those distressed ministers had the Word for them, but the prelates had the sword on their side, and would therefore get the better. Acts and Mon., 1300.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 59:14
(14) Truth is fallen in the street—i.e., the broad open place, or agora, of the city. The words point naturally to Jerusalem. If they refer to Babylon, we must assume, unless we deal with the language as altogether figurative, that the exiles had a quarter of their own, in which they had an agora for business and judicial proceedings.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 59:14
Verse 14. Justice standeth afar off] צדקה tsedakah, righteousness, put here, says Kimchi, for alms to the poor. This casts some light on Matthew 6:1: "Take heed that you do not your alms," ελεημοσυνην. But the best copies have δικαιοσυνην, righteousness; the former having been inserted in the text at first merely as the explanation of the genuine and original word.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 59:14
14. The confession, following the same order as the indictment in Isaiah 59:3-4, proceeds from personal sins to public injustice. judgment and justice (righteousness) are not the divine vindication of Israel’s right (as in Isaiah 59:9), but the fundamental civic virtues. These, by a bold personification, are conceived as eager to take their rightful place in the administration of justice, but as kept at a distance by the prevailing social corruption. For truth (the essential basis of righteousness) stumbleth in the broad place, and uprightness (R.V.) cannot enter. The “broad place” is probably the open space at the city gate where cases were decided by the judges (Jeremiah 5:1 &c.).
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 59:14
And judgment is turned away backward - The word ‘judgment’ is not used, as in Isaiah 59:9, to denote the divine interposition to avenge and deliver them, but it is used in the sense of justice, or
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 59:14
