Isaiah 5:17-19
Good News Translation

17 In the ruins of the cities lambs will eat grass and young goats will find pasture.[a]

18 You are doomed! You are unable to break free from your sins. 19 You say, “Let the Lord hurry up and do what he says he will, so that we can see it. Let Israel's holy God carry out his plans; let's see what he has in mind.”

New International Version

17 Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture;(A)
    lambs will feed[a] among the ruins of the rich.

18 Woe(B) to those who draw sin along with cords(C) of deceit,
    and wickedness(D) as with cart ropes,
19 to those who say, “Let God hurry;
    let him hasten(E) his work
    so we may see it.
The plan of the Holy One(F) of Israel—
    let it approach, let it come into view,
    so we may know it.”(G)
