The way of peace they do not know, and there is no justice in their paths; they have made their roads crooked; no one who treads on them knows peace. Isaiah 59:8

context:

​Their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their highways. The way of peace they do not know, and there is no justice in their paths; they have made their roads crooked; no one who treads on them knows peace. Isaiah 59:7-8

related:

There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him: ​haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, ​a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, ​a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. Proverbs 6:16-19

Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far away; for truth has stumbled in the public squares, and uprightness cannot enter. Truth is lacking, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. The LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice. Isaiah 59:14-15
