And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. |
Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. |
And justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far away; for truth has stumbled in the street, and uprightness cannot enter. |

So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. |
Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God) stands far off; for truth has fallen in the street (the city's forum), and uprightness cannot enter [the courts of justice]. |
