Isaiah 5:18-23
18Woe to those who draw iniquity with acords of falsehood,who draw sin as with cart ropes,
19who say: b“Let him be quick,
let him speed his work
that we may see it;
let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near,
and let it come, that we may know it!”
20Woe to cthose who call evil good
and good evil,
dwho put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!
21Woe to those who are ewise in their own eyes,
and shrewd in their own sight!
22Woe to those who are fheroes at drinking wine,
and valiant men in mixing strong drink,
23who gacquit the guilty for a bribe,
and deprive the innocent of his right!
