3:9 blocked my way . . . made my road crooked: Sin causes confusion and cuts a person or a community off from a happy future. Innocent people know the future as a straight path that is easy to follow (Prov 21:8). Isaiah imagined God’s activities as a procession on a straight road that his worshipers would prepare (Isa 40:3).
