Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 59:14

14 And judgment is turned away backward ▪ and justice standeth afar off : for truth is fallen in the street , and equity cannot enter .

He speaks here of the Sentences and Decrees in courts of Judicature, which are carried quite contrary to Right and Justice: God denies you Justice as you have denied help to others.

I[illegible: 1+ letters] notes the same thing with the former, to shew that Justice and Judges are far asunder.

A Metaphor taken from a feeble person, that wants support, without which he falls; thus Truth hath none to support or patronize it: the same, only otherwise expressed, with v. 16. Truth is cast upon the ground, and Justice trampled under foot.

i. e. in publick.

No such thing will be admitted in their Courts, all corrupt, so that all Equity and Justice is violently kept off by the authority of the great ones.
