they are ^ba crooked and twisted generation.

Isaiah 30:8-13

A Rebellious People

8 And now, go, ^gwrite it before them on a tablet
and inscribe it in a book,
that it may be for the time to come
as a witness forever. ^{▼▼Some Hebrew manuscripts, Syriac, Targum, Vulgate, and Greek versions; Masoretic Text forever and ever}
9 ⁱFor they are a rebellious people,
lying children,
children unwilling to hear
the instruction of the Lord;
10 ^jwho say to ^kthe seers, “Do not see,”
and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right;
speak to us ^lsmooth things,
prophesy illusions,
11 leave the way, turn aside from the path,
let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel,
“Because you despise this word
and trust in ^moppression and perverseness
and rely on them,
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you
ⁿlike a breach in a high wall, bulging out and about to collapse,
whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant;

Isaiah 59:8

8 The way of peace they do not know,
and there is no justice in their paths;
they have made their roads crooked;
^ono one who treads on them knows peace.

Philippians 2:15

15 that you may be blameless and innocent, ^pchildren of God ^qwithout blemish ^rin the midst of ^sa crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine ^tas lights in the world,
