Isaiah 59:6-8
Context59:6 Their webs cannot be used for clothing;
they cannot cover themselves with what they make.
Their deeds are sinful;
they commit violent crimes. 1
59:7 They are eager to do evil, 2
quick to shed innocent blood. 3
Their thoughts are sinful;
they crush and destroy. 4
59:8 They are unfamiliar with peace;
their deeds are unjust. 5
They use deceitful methods,
and whoever deals with them is unfamiliar with peace. 6
