Isaiah 59:8
Isaiah 59:8 in Multiple Translations
The way of peace they have not known, and there is no justice in their tracks. They have turned them into crooked paths; no one who treads on them will know peace.
The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
The way of peace they know not; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whosoever goeth therein doth not know peace.
They have no knowledge of the way of peace, and there is no sense of what is right in their behaviour: they have made for themselves ways which are not straight; whoever goes in them has no knowledge of peace.
They don't know how to live in peace; they're not straight and fair with others. Their way is totally crooked, and anyone who follows them won't experience any peace.
The way of peace they knowe not, and there is none equitie in their goings: they haue made them crooked paths: whosoeuer goeth therein, shall not knowe peace.
A way of peace they have not known, And there is no judgment in their paths, Their paths they have made perverse for themselves, No treader in it hath known peace.
They don’t know the way of peace; and there is no justice in their ways. They have made crooked paths for themselves; whoever goes in them doesn’t know peace.
The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
They have not known the way of peace, and there is no judgment in their steps: their paths are become crooked to them, every one that treadeth in them, knoweth no peace.
You do not know how to act peacefully or to treat others fairly. You always are ◄dishonest/deceiving others► [MET], and those who imitate your behavior never have any inner peace.

Context — Sin Separates Us from God
6Their cobwebs cannot be made into clothing, and they cannot cover themselves with their works. Their deeds are sinful deeds, and acts of violence are in their hands.
7Their feet run to evil; they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are sinful thoughts; ruin and destruction lie in their wake.
8The way of peace they have not known, and there is no justice in their tracks. They have turned them into crooked paths; no one who treads on them will know peace.
9Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We hope for light, but there is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in gloom. 10Like the blind, we feel our way along the wall, groping like those without eyes. We stumble at midday as in the twilight; among the vigorous we are like the dead.Cross References

Isaiah 59:8 Summary
[This verse is saying that people have not learned how to live in peace, and instead, they have chosen paths that lead to trouble and conflict. This is because they have not followed God's ways, which are described in Psalm 119:165 as the path to peace. By choosing to follow our own ways, rather than God's ways, we can end up on a path that leads to unrest and conflict, rather than peace. However, as seen in Romans 5:1, we can have peace with God through faith in Jesus Christ.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to not know the way of peace?
According to Isaiah 59:8, not knowing the way of peace means that people have not experienced or understood the path that leads to true peace, which can only be found through a relationship with God, as described in Romans 5:1 and John 14:27.
How do people turn paths into crooked ways?
People turn paths into crooked ways by making choices that are contrary to God's will and His standards of justice and righteousness, as seen in Proverbs 14:12 and Matthew 7:13-14.
What is the result of walking on these crooked paths?
According to Isaiah 59:8, no one who walks on these crooked paths will know peace, which means that they will experience turmoil, unrest, and conflict, rather than the peace that comes from following God's ways, as promised in Psalm 119:165.
Is there hope for those who have been walking on these crooked paths?
Yes, there is hope for those who have been walking on these crooked paths, as seen in Isaiah 55:7, which encourages people to turn from their wicked ways and seek the Lord, and in 1 John 1:9, which promises forgiveness and cleansing to those who confess their sins.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I may be contributing to the crooked paths in my own life, and how can I turn back to God's ways?
- How can I seek peace in my own life, and what are some practical steps I can take to follow the way of peace?
- What are some areas in my life where I may be experiencing turmoil or unrest, and how can I apply the principles of Isaiah 59:8 to find peace in those areas?
- How can I share the way of peace with others, and what are some ways that I can be a light in a world that often chooses crooked paths?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 59:8
The way of peace they know not,.... Neither the way of peace with God, supposing it is to be made by man, and not by Christ; and are ignorant of the steps and methods taken to procure it; nor do they
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 59:8
The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 59:8
The way of peace they know not; they are of such turbulent spirits, living in such continual contentions and discords, that, breaking in pieces the very bonds of society, they neither know, 1. How to make and keep peace; neither, 2. Do they feel or enjoy the sweet fruits of it; and therefore by consequence, 3. They take not the course that leads to prosperity and happiness. They are not friends to peace. There is no judgment, i.e. no justice, equity, faith, or integrity, which are the foundation of judgment, in their goings; as paths did note their habitual way or manner of living, so goings do signify their actual progress in that way, or their works; thus . They have made them crooked paths; they walk by no rule, which should discover the crooked from the straight; they are full of unevennesses and uncertainties, contrary to what David speaks, . The LXX. render it perverse. Moses joins them both together, ; and so doth Solomon, speaking what wisdom shall deliver from, ; and it stands in opposition to them that walk uprightly, . It may note, 1.
Their hypocrisy, that pretend one thing and do another, that oppress under a pretence of justice. Or, 2. Their professed and owned irregularities and deviations from the rule of justice. Shall not know peace, i.e. shall not experience it; whosoever do as they do will be turbulent and perverse, as they are, and have as little peace within, or happiness without, as they have, . They shall be poisoned by having converse with them, as in , which the next words do intimate.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 59:8
Isaiah 59:8 The way of peace they know not; and [there is] no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.Ver. 8. The way of peace they know not.] Like salamanders, they love to live in the fire of contention, to swim against the stream with the trout, to sow sedition, as the devil, &c.
