Commentary for Isaiah 59:8
דֶּ֤רֶךְ שָׁלוֹם֙ לֹ֣א יָדָ֔עוּ וְאֵ֥ין מִשְׁפָּ֖ט בְּמַעְגְּלוֹתָ֑ם נְתִיבֽוֹתֵיהֶם֙ עִקְּשׁ֣וּ לָהֶ֔ם כֹּ֚ל דֹּרֵ֣ךְ בָּ֔הּ לֹ֥א יָדַ֖ע שָׁלֽוֹם׃
The way of peace they know not, And there is no right in their goings; They have made them crooked paths, Whosoever goeth therein doth not know peace.
Rashi on Isaiah
and there is no justice in their paths That is to say that in their paths there is nothing judged truly according to its law.

Their paths that were well known before (as straight), are now crooked. Whosoever goeth therein, that is, he who walks in their ways, and learns from them.
