Isaiah 59:8

Rampant Transgression

⁷ Their feet run to evil,
And they hasten to shed innocent blood;
Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity,
Devastation and destruction are in their highways.
⁸ They do not know the way of peace,
And there is no justice in their tracks;
They have made their paths crooked,
Whoever treads on them does not know peace. ⁹ Therefore justice is far from us,
And righteousness does not overtake us;
We hope for light, but behold, darkness,
For brightness, but we walk in gloom.

No Peace

Way of Peace

For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel
And the men of Judah His delightful plant.

Justice is turned back,
And righteousness stands far away;
For truth has stumbled in the street,
And uprightness cannot enter.

If there is one who does justice, who seeks truth,
Then I will pardon her.
