Isaiah 59:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ Their feet run to do evil,
and they hurry to shed innocent blood.
Their thoughts are futile^[a] thoughts.
Destruction and ruin are the destination of their highways.
⁸ They do not know the road to peace,
and there is no justice on the route they follow.
They made crooked paths for themselves.
No one who walks on them will experience peace.
⁹ Therefore justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not reach us.
We hope for light, but look, there is only darkness.
We hope for bright light, but we walk around in the darkest gloom.
