20 Woe to those who (A)call evil good, and good evil;
Who [a](B)substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who [b]substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are (C)wise in their own eyes
And [c]clever in their own sight!
22 (D)Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine,
And valiant men in mixing intoxicating drink,
23 (E)Who declare the wicked innocent for a bribe,
And (F)take away the [d]rights of the ones who are in the right!
