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 trouble and give birth to disaster.
5 They hatch vipers’ eggs and ^fweave the spider’s web;
The one who eats of their eggs dies,
And from what is crushed, a snake breaks out.
6 Their webs will not become clothing,
Nor will they ^gcover themselves with their works;
Their ^hworks are works of wrongdoing,
And an ⁱact of violence is in their ^{▼▼Lit palms}hands.
7 ^kTheir feet run to evil,
And they hurry to shed innocent blood;
^lTheir thoughts are thoughts of wrongdoing,
Devastation and destruction are in their paths.
8 They do not know the ^mway of peace,
And there is ⁿno justice in their tracks;
They have made their paths crooked,
^oWhoever walks on ^{▼▼Lit it}them does not know peace.
