Isaiah 59:1-8
Excerpted from: Peace, Peace (Part One): Peace with God

Which is quite the opposite of what we heard in the morning sermon. Martin was imploring us to take that way of peace. But it says these people have made themselves crooked paths. They did not go on a way that was already laid out for them from God. They said, I want to go my own way. And God says, Okay, fine, you take that way. You will never know peace.

Now this passage makes me conclude that as well. It says it right there, humanity has never really known peace. Not the peace of God that He wants us to live. And Isaiah does a fantastic job here of tying their lack of peace with their sins. It was their sins that made peace impossible. Their iniquities were so contrary to the way of peace that it could never even begin. There was so much sin that had built up in their lifetimes that they had an absolute inability to acknowledge and follow the truth, which is another way of talking about the way of peace.
