⁷ They rush to do evil things.
They hurry to kill people who have not done anything wrong.
They think only about sin.
    They only want to be cruel and to hurt people.
⁸ They do not know how to live in peace.
    They cannot be honest and fair.
Their way of life is all wrong.
    Nobody who lives like that will have peace.

⁹ Because of that, God's justice is far away from us.
    He has not come to save us.
We look for light to come to us,
    but everything is dark.
We need some light in our lives,
    but all we have is darkness.
