Isaiah 59:8
King James VersionSource notes
“The way of peace they know not; and no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.”
Context
5They hatch cockatrice’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
6Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works works of iniquity, and the act of violence in their hands.
7Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction in their paths.
8The way of peace they know not; and no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
9Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, we walk in darkness.
10We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; in desolate places as dead
11We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but none; for salvation, it is far off from us.
