Isaiah 5:19-21

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹ who say: “Let him make haste,
    let him speed his work
    that we may see it;
let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near,
    and let it come, that we may know it!”
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!
²¹ Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
    and shrewd in their own sight!
