Isaiah 59:7-9
Wycliffe Bible
7 The feet of them run to evil, and haste to shed out innocent blood; the thoughts of them be unprofitable thoughts; destroying and defouling be in the ways of them. (Their feet run to evil, and they hasten to pour out innocent blood; their thoughts be unprofitable thoughts; destroying and defiling be their way of doing things.)
8 They knew not the way of peace, and doom is not in the goings of them; the paths of them be bowed to them; each that treadeth in those, knoweth not peace. (They knew not the way of peace, and justice is not their way; their paths be crooked; anyone who treadeth on them, knoweth not peace.)
9 Therefore doom is made far from us, and rightfulness shall not (over)take us; we abided light, and lo! darknesses be; we abided shining, and we went in darknesses. (And so justice is made far from us, and right shall not overtake us; we wait for the light, but lo! there is only darkness; we wait for the sun to shine, but still we walk in darkness.)

Isaiah 59:7-9
New International Version
7 Their feet rush into sin;
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.
