11. We all roar like bearsand mourn sadly like doves;we look for justice, but there is none;for salvation, but it is far from us.
12. For our transgressions are multiplied before You,and our sins testify against us;for our transgressions are with us.And as for our iniquities, we know them:
13. transgressing, and lying against the Lord,and departing away from our God,speaking oppression and revolt,conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14. Justice is turned backward,and righteousness stands far off;for truth is fallen in the street,and equity cannot enter.
15. Truth is lacking,and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.Then the Lord saw it, and it displeased Himthat there was no justice.
16. He saw that there was no manand was astonished that there was no intercessor;therefore, His own arm brought salvation to Him,and His righteousness sustained Him.
