Isaiah 59:7

Their feet, to mischief, do run, And they speed to shed innocent blood,—Their devices, are devices of iniquity, Wasting and destruction, are in their high roads;

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.

8the way of well-being, have they not known, And there is no justice in their tracks,—Their paths, have they made crooked for themselves, None who treadeth therein knoweth well—being.
