In context

7And their feet run to wickedness, swift to shed blood; their thoughts also are thoughts of murder; destruction and misery are in their ways;

8and the way of peace they know not, neither is there judgment in their ways; for their paths by which they go are crooked, and they know not peace.

— Isaiah 59:9 —

10They shall feel for the wall as blind men, and shall feel for it as if they had no eyes: and they shall feel at noonday as at midnight; they shall groan as dying men.

11They shall proceed together as a bear and as a dove: we have waited for judgment, and there is no salvation, it is gone far from us.
