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

And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off - Justice and righteousness are put away from our legal courts.

And equity cannot enter - is shut out from the forum, or courts of justice.
