Isaiah 59:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ Those people weave their evil plans together like a spider’s web.
    But the webs they make can’t be used as clothes.
    They can’t cover themselves with what they make.
Their acts are evil.
    They do things to harm others.
⁷ They are always in a hurry to sin.
    They run quickly to murder those who aren’t guilty.
They love to think up evil plans.
    They leave a trail of harmful actions.
⁸ They don’t know how to live at peace with others.
    What they do isn’t fair.
They lead twisted lives.
    No one who lives like that will enjoy peace and rest.
