Isaiah 5:18-20

Modern English Version

¹⁸ Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood
    and sin as if with a cart rope,
¹⁹ who say, “Let Him make speed
    and hasten His work,
    that we may see it;
and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel
    draw near and come,
    that we may know it!”

²⁰ Woe to those who call evil good,
    and good evil;
who exchange darkness for light,
    and light for darkness;
who exchange bitter for sweet,
    and sweet for bitter!
