ISAIAH 59:14-15
14 So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at
a distance; truth has stumbled in the public square,
honesty cannot enter. 15 Truth is nowhere to be
found, and anyone who renounces evil is attacked.

ROMANS 1:21-25

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor
gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish
hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became
fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to
look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to
sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and
served created things rather than the Creator - who is forever praised.
Amen.

ROMANS 1:26-28

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their
women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the
same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were
inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with
other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the
knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that
they do what ought not to be done.

ROMANS 1:29-32

29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and
depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are
gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they
invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no
understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know
God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they
not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who
practice them.

ISAIAH 59:14-15
14 So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands
at a distance; truth has stumbled in the public square,
honesty cannot enter. 15 Truth is nowhere to be
found, and anyone who renounces evil is attacked.

ISAIAH 59:15-16 MSG
GOD looked and saw evil looming on the horizon - so
much evil and no sign of justice. 16 He couldn't believe
what he saw: not a soul around to correct this awful
situation!
