Yea, truth {H571} faileth {H5737}; and he that departeth {H5493} from evil {H7451} maketh himself a prey {H7997}: and the LORD {H3068} saw {H7200} it, and it displeased {H3415}{H5869} him that there was no judgment {H4941}.

Honesty is lacking, he who leaves evil becomes a target. ADONAI saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.
