Isaiah 5:18-20
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
18 Ah! Those who tug at guilt with cords of perversity,
and at sin as if with cart ropes!
19 [a]Who say, “Let him make haste,
let him speed his work, that we may see it;
On with the plan of the Holy One of Israel!
let it come to pass, that we may know it!”(A)
20 Ah! Those who call evil good, and good evil,
who change darkness to light, and light into darkness,
who change bitter to sweet, and sweet into bitter!(B)
