Isaiah 5:19-21

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁹ who say, “Let him make haste;
    let him speed his work
    that we may see it;
let the plan of the Holy One of Israel hasten to fulfillment,
    that we may know it!”^(A)
20 Woe to those who call evil good
    and good evil,
who put darkness for light
    and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
    and sweet for bitter!^(B)
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
    and shrewd in their own sight!^(C)
