Isaiah 59:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 Their webs will not become clothing,
Nor will they (A)cover themselves with their works;
Their (B)works are works of wrongdoing,
And an (C)act of violence is in their [a]hands.
7 (D)Their feet run to evil,
And they hurry to shed innocent blood;
(E)Their thoughts are thoughts of wrongdoing,
Devastation and destruction are in their paths.
8 They do not know the (F)way of peace,
And there is (G)no justice in their tracks;
They have made their paths crooked,
(H)Whoever walks on [b]them does not know peace.

Isaiah 59:6-8
King James Version
6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

Isaiah 59:6-8
The Voice
6 There is nothing of value in their creations—
the webs they weave are not fit to clothe or cover anyone.
The products they make are nothing but trouble;
violence comes naturally to them.
7 Their feet race to do evil;
they rush to shed innocent blood;
Their thoughts are bent toward injustice;
destruction and trouble line the roads of their lives.
8 They never travel the path of peace;[a]
no justice is found where they have been.
They set a course down crooked roads;
no one who follows their lead has a chance of knowing peace.
