Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

Therefore - because thou dost suffer such crimes to go unpunished.

The law is slacked - is chilled х taapuwg (H6313)]. It has no authority, and secures no respect.

And judgment doth never go forth - "judgment," justice.

Wrong judgment proceedeth - decisions are given contrary to right.
