18 Woe to those who drag (A)wrongdoing with the cords of [a]deceit,
And sin as if with cart ropes;
19 (B)Who say, “Let Him hurry, let Him do His work quickly, so that we may see it;
And let the plan of the Holy One of Israel approach
And come to pass, so that we may know it!”
20 Woe to those who (C)call evil good, and good evil;
Who [b](D)substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who [c]substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
