UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) Justice is driven back

(Some words not found in UHB: and,turned back justice and,righteousness at,distance stands that/for/because/then/when stumbled in/on/at/with,public_square truth and,uprightness not she_can to,enter )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The people drive justice back”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

(Occurrence 0) Justice … righteousness … truth … right

(Some words not found in UHB: and,turned back justice and,righteousness at,distance stands that/for/because/then/when stumbled in/on/at/with,public_square truth and,uprightness not she_can to,enter )

These are ideas that Isaiah describes as acting like persons. (See also: figs-abstractnouns)
