20 ¡Ay de los que a lo malo dicen bueno, y a lo bueno malo; que hacen de la luz tinieblas, y de las tinieblas luz; que ponen lo amargo por dulce, y lo dulce por amargo! 21 ¡Ay de los sabios en sus propios ojos, y de los que son prudentes delante de sí mismos! 22 ¡Ay de los que son valientes para beber vino, y hombres fuertes para mezclar bebida; 23 los que justifican al impío mediante cohecho, y al justo quitan su derecho!

24 Por tanto, como la lengua del fuego consume el rastrojo, y la llama devora la paja, así será su raíz como podredumbre, y su flor se desvanecerá como polvo; porque desecharon la ley de Jehová de los ejércitos, y abominaron la palabra del Santo de Israel. 25 Por esta causa se encendió el furor de Jehová contra su pueblo, y extendió contra él su mano, y le hirió; y se estremecieron los montes, y sus cadáveres fueron arrojados en medio de las calles. Con todo esto no ha cesado su furor, sino que todavía su mano está extendida.

20 Woe(A) to those who call evil good(B)
    and good evil,(C)
who put darkness for light
    and light for darkness,(D)
who put bitter for sweet
    and sweet for bitter.(E)

21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes(F)
    and clever in their own sight.

22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine(G)
    and champions at mixing drinks,(H)
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,(I)
    but deny justice(J) to the innocent.(K)
24 Therefore, as tongues of fire(L) lick up straw(M)
    and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay(N)
    and their flowers blow away like dust;(O)
for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty
    and spurned the word(P) of the Holy One(Q) of Israel.
25 Therefore the Lord’s anger(R) burns against his people;
    his hand is raised and he strikes them down.
The mountains shake,(S)
    and the dead bodies(T) are like refuse(U) in the streets.(V)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,(W)
    his hand is still upraised.(X)

20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

25 Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
