None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 4 is found in chapter 59 of Isaiah. Sin is described as a barrier produced by the people’s own iniquity, not by a lack of power in God. Injustice, violence, and lies contaminate collective life. In the absence of an intercessor, Yahweh himself intervenes with justice and establishes a covenant through his Spirit and word.

Es ist niemand, der von Gerechtigkeit predige oder treulich richte. Man vertraut aufs Eitle und redet nichts Tüchtiges; mit Unglück sind sie schwanger und gebären Mühsal.
No hay quien clame por la justicia, ni quien juzgue por la verdad: confían en vanidad, y hablan vanidades; conciben trabajo, y paren iniquidad.
Nadie clama con justicia ni litiga con honestidad. Confían en el vacío y hablan falsedad; conciben malicia y dan a luz iniquidad.
Nul ne se plaint avec justice, Nul ne plaide avec droiture; Ils s'appuient sur des choses vaines et disent des faussetés, Ils conçoivent le mal et enfantent le crime.
Non vi è niuno che gridi per la giustizia, nè che litighi per la verità; si confidano in cose di nulla, e parlano falsità; concepiscono perversità, e partoriscono iniquità.
Ninguém há que clame pela justiça, nem ninguém que compareça em juízo pela verdade; confiam na vaidade, e falam mentiras; concebem o mal, e dão à luz a iniqüidade.
無人按公義控訴, 也無人憑誠實辯白; 卻倚靠虛妄,口說謊言, 懷毒害,生罪孽。
