The statement that justice is pushed back and righteousness stands far off captures the reversal of moral order: what should prevail (justice) is suppressed and marginalized. The fallenness of truth in the streets and inability of anyone to speak what is right suggests that public discourse itself has become corrupted instrument of falsehood. The image of truth stumbling in the street indicates that moral truth is abandoned and despised in the public sphere. This verse establishes the systemic nature of corruption: not individual acts but the entire social-communicative order has inverted, making truth impossible to speak and be heard.
