Isaiah 59:7-9
Revised Standard Version
7 Their feet run to evil,
and they make haste to shed innocent blood;
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity,
desolation and destruction are in their highways.
8 The way of peace they know not,
and there is no justice in their paths;
they have made their roads crooked,
no one who goes in them knows peace.
9 Therefore justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not overtake us;
we look for light, and behold, darkness,
and for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
Isaiah 59:7-9

they are swift to shed innocent blood.(A)
They pursue evil schemes;(B)
acts of violence mark their ways.(C)
8 The way of peace they do not know;(D)
there is no justice in their paths.
They have turned them into crooked roads;(E)
no one who walks along them will know peace.(F)
9 So justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness;(G)
for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
