Isaiah 59:7-9
Expanded Bible
7 ·They eagerly [L Their feet] run to do evil [Prov. 1:16; Rom. 3:15–17],
and they are always ready to ·kill innocent people [L shed innocent blood].
They ·think evil thoughts [or devise evil schemes].
·They cause ruin and destruction everywhere they go [Ruin and destruction are in their paths/roads].
8 They don’t know ·how to live in [L the path/way of] peace,
and there is no ·fairness [justice] in their ·lives [paths].
They ·are dishonest [act deceitfully; L have made their paths/ways crooked].
Anyone who ·lives as they live [walks on them] will never ·have [know] peace.
Israel’s Sin Brings Trouble
9 ·Fairness [Justice] has gone far away;
·goodness [righteousness] ·is nowhere to be found [L does not reach/overtake us].
We ·wait [hope] for the light, but ·there is only darkness now [L look/T behold, darkness].
We ·hope [wait] for a bright light, but ·all we have is darkness [L we walk in gloom/shadows/darkness].

Isaiah 59:7-9
New International Version
7 Their feet rush into sin;
they are swift to shed innocent blood.(A)
They pursue evil schemes;(B)
acts of violence mark their ways.(C)
8 The way of peace they do not know;(D)
there is no justice in their paths.
They have turned them into crooked roads;(E)
no one who walks along them will know peace.(F)
9 So justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness;(G)
for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
