Isaiah 59:7-9

English Standard Version Anglicised

^7 (A)Their feet run to evil,
    and they are swift to shed innocent blood;
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
    desolation and destruction are in their highways.
⁸ The way of peace they do not know,
    and there is no justice in their paths;
they have made their roads crooked;
    ^(B)no one who treads on them knows peace.
⁹ Therefore justice is far from us,
    and righteousness does not overtake us;
^(C)we hope for light, and behold, darkness,
    and for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
