Three Judges, Where Are You?

For our offenses are many in your sight,
    and our sins testify against us.
Our offenses are ever with us,
    and we acknowledge our iniquities:
¹³ rebellion and treachery against the Lord,
    turning our backs on our God,
inciting revolt and oppression,
    uttering lies our hearts have conceived.
¹⁴ So justice is driven back,
    and righteousness stands at a distance;
truth has stumbled in the streets,
    honesty cannot enter.
¹⁵ Truth is nowhere to be found,
    and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.

The Lord looked and was displeased
    that there was no justice.

Isaiah 59:12-15 NIV

The judges’ actions affect ‘many waters’.

Many waters is defined as peoples, multitudes, nations and languages in Revelation 17:15.

“If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.”

James 4:17

“For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.”

Romans 2:13
