Isaiah 59:4-8

4 ^aNo one sues righteously and ^bno one pleads ^{▼▼ Lit in truth}honestly.
They ^dtrust in confusion and speak lies;
They ^econceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.
5 They hatch adders’ eggs and ^fweave the spider’s web;
He who eats of their eggs dies,
And from that which is crushed a snake breaks forth.
6 Their webs will not become clothing,
Nor will they ^gcover themselves with their works;
Their ^hworks are works of iniquity,
And an ⁱact of violence is in their ^{▼▼ Lit palms}hands.
7 ^kTheir feet run to evil,
And they hasten to shed innocent blood;
^lTheir thoughts are thoughts of iniquity,
Devastation and destruction are in their highways.
8 They do not know the ^mway of peace,
And there is ⁿno justice in their tracks;
They have made their paths crooked,
^oWhoever treads on ^{▼▼ Lit it}them does not know peace.
