Isaiah 59:8

“The way of peace they know not, &c.] 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 know the way of peace of conscience, or how to attain to that which is true and solid; nor the way to eternal peace and happiness, which is alone by Christ, and the Gospel of peace reveals, to which they are strangers; nor the way of peace among men, which they are unconcerned about, and do not seek after, make use of no methods to promote, secure, and establish it; but all the reverse: and there is no judgment in their goings; no justice in their actions, in their dealings with men; no…”

“peace--whether in relation to God, to their own conscience, or to their fellow men (Isa 57:20-21). judgment--justice. crooked--the opposite of "straightforward" (Pro 2:15; Pro 28:18).”

“The way of peace they know not - The phrase ‘way of peace’ may denote either peace of conscience, peace with God, peace among themselves, or peace with their fellow-men. Possibly it may refer to all these; and the sense will be, that in their whole lives they were strangers to true contentment and happiness. From no quarter had they peace, but whether in relation to God, to their own consciences, to each other, or to their fellow-men, they were involved in continual strife and agitation (see the notes at Isaiah 57:20-21). And there is no judgment in their goings - Margin, ‘Right.’ The sense is, that there was no justice in their dealings. there was no disposition to do right. They were full…”

“The way of peace - They live in continual contentions, and discords. Judgment - No justice, equity, faith, or integrity. Isaiah 59:9”

“way: Pro 3:17; Luk 1:79; Rom 3:17 no: Isa 59:14, Isa 59:15, Isa 5:7; Jer 5:1; Hos 4:1, Hos 4:2; Amo 6:1-6; Mat 23:23 judgment: or, right, Psa 58:1, Psa 58:2 crooked: Psa 125:5; Pro 2:15, Pro 28:18 whosoever: Isa 48:22, Isa 57:20, Isa 57:21 Isaiah 59:9”

“Their whole nature is broken up into discord. "The way of peace they know not, and there is no right in their roads: they make their paths crooked: every one who treads upon them knows no peace." With דּרך, the way upon which a man goes, the prophet uses interchangeably (here and in Isa 59:7) מסלּה, a high-road thrown up with an embankment; מעגּל (with the plural in ı̂m and ôth), a carriage-road; and נתיבה, a footpath formed by the constant passing to and fro of travellers. Peaceable conduct, springing form a love of peace, and aiming at producing peace, is altogether strange to them; no such thing is to be met with in their path as the recognition of practice of right: they make their…”
