Isaiah 5:19-23

English Standard Version

¹⁹ who say: ^(A)“Let him be quick,
    let him speed his work
    that we may see it;
let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near,
    and let it come, that we may know it!”
²⁰ Woe to ^(B)those who call evil good
    and good evil,
^(C)who put darkness for light
    and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
    and sweet for bitter!
²¹ Woe to those who are ^(D)wise in their own eyes,
    and shrewd in their own sight!
²² Woe to those who are ^(E)heroes at drinking wine,
    and valiant men in mixing strong drink,
²³ who ^(F)acquit the guilty for a bribe,
    and deprive the innocent of his right!
