7They are always in a hurry to sin.

They run quickly to murder those who aren’t guilty.

Their thoughts are evil.

They leave a trail of suffering and pain.

8They don’t know how to live at peace with others.

What they do isn’t fair.

They lead twisted lives.

No one who lives like that will enjoy peace and rest.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

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.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Their feet rush into sin;

they are swift to shed innocent blood.

They pursue evil schemes;

acts of violence mark their ways.

The way of peace they do not know;

there is no justice in their paths.

They have turned them into crooked roads;

no one who walks along them will know peace.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Their feet run after evil,

and they rush to shed innocent blood.

Their thoughts are sinful thoughts;

ruin and wretchedness are in their paths.

They have not known the path of peace,

and there is no justice in their ways.

They have made their roads crooked;

no one who walks on them will know peace.

NLTNew Living Translation

Their feet run to do evil,

and they rush to commit murder.

They think only about sinning.

Misery and destruction always follow them.

They don’t know where to find peace

or what it means to be just and good.

They have mapped out crooked roads,

and no one who follows them knows a moment’s peace.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Their feet run to evil,

and they hasten to shed innocent blood.

Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;

devastation and destruction are in their highways.

They do not know the way of peace,

and there is no justice in their firm paths.

They have made their paths crooked for themselves;

everyone who walks in it knows no peace.

KJV 1900King 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.

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.
