But the wicked {are} like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

And the way of peace have they not known:

To give light to them that sit in darkness and {in} the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts {is} the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry. {his...: Heb. plant of his pleasures} {oppression: Heb. a scab}

[To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David.] Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? {Altaschith...: or, Destroy not} {Michtam: or, A golden Psalm}

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier {matters} of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. {anise: Gr. dill}

Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because {there is} no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

Woe to them {that are} at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, {which are} named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came! {are at...: or, are secure} {chief: or, firstfruits}

Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be {any} that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.

As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: {but} peace {shall be} upon Israel.

Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but {he that is} perverse {in his} ways shall fall at once.

Whose ways {are} crooked, and {they} froward in their paths:

{There is} no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.

And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.

Her ways {are} ways of pleasantness, and all her paths {are} peace.

And the way of peace have they not known:

As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: {but} peace {shall be} upon Israel.

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Whose ways {are} crooked, and {they} froward in their paths:

{There is} no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and {there shall be} none. {Destruction: Heb. Cutting off}

So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, {Is it} peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again.

To give light to them that sit in darkness and {in} the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
