18 Malheur à ceux qui tirent l'iniquité avec les cordes du vice, Et le péché comme avec les traits d'un char,

19 Et qui disent: Qu'il hâte, qu'il accélère son oeuvre, Afin que nous la voyions! Que le décret du Saint d'Israël arrive et s'exécute, Afin que nous le connaissions!

20 Malheur à ceux qui appellent le mal bien, et le bien mal, Qui changent les ténèbres en lumière, et la lumière en ténèbres, Qui changent l'amertume en douceur, et la douceur en amertume!

21 Malheur à ceux qui sont sages à leurs yeux, Et qui se croient intelligents!

18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:

19 That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!

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!

18 Woe to those who [a]draw iniquity with cords of [b]vanity,
And sin as if with a cart rope;
19 (A)That say, “Let Him make speed and hasten His work,
That we may see it;
And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and 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 (B)wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight!
