And judgment is turned away backward
National sin
The sin of a nation becomes national, and brings public judgments, when it is not restrained by public justice.
(M. Henry.)

14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
