8 The way of (A)peace they have not known,
And there is no justice in their ways;
(B)They have made themselves crooked paths;
Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.

9 Therefore justice is far from us,
Nor does righteousness overtake us;
(C)We look for light, but there is darkness!
For brightness, but we walk in blackness!

And there is (B)no justice in their tracks;
