The way of peace they do not know,
    and there is no justice in their paths;
they have made their roads crooked;
    (A)no one who treads on them knows peace.

    and righteousness does not overtake us;
(B)we hope for light, and behold, darkness,
    and for brightness, but we walk in gloom.

we stumble at noon as in the twilight,
    (D)among those in full vigour we are like dead men.
