¹⁸ Woe to those who drag iniquity along
    with the cords of perversity,
and who drag sin along
    as though with cart ropes;
¹⁹ woe to those who say, “Let the Lord make haste
    and speed up his work that we may see it;
let the Holy One of Israel
    be brought to fulfillment
    so that we may know it.”
²⁰ Woe to those who call good what is evil
    and call evil what is good,
who classify as darkness what is light
    and designate as light what is darkness,
who make sweet what is bitter
    and make bitter what is sweet.
