9 Highway of Holiness Isa 26:7 The way of the just is uprightness; O Most Upright, You weigh the path of the just. Isa 59:8-9 The way of peace they have not known, And there is no justice in their ways; They have made themselves crooked paths; Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.

Way of Destruction

13 Pr 13:15 Good understanding gains favor, But the way of the unfaithful is hard. Pr 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. Pr 15:9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But He loves him who follows righteousness. Way of Destruction
