Isaiah 5:20-24
New International Version
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.
Isaiah 8:16-22
New International Version
16 Bind up this testimony of warning(A)
and seal(B) up God’s instruction among my disciples.
17 I will wait(C) for the Lord,
who is hiding(D) his face from the descendants of Jacob.
I will put my trust in him.(E)
18 Here am I, and the children the Lord has given me.(F) We are signs(G) and symbols(H) in Israel from the Lord Almighty, who dwells on Mount Zion.(I)
The Darkness Turns to Light
19 When someone tells you to consult(J) mediums and spiritists,(K) who whisper and mutter,(L) should not a people inquire(M) of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 Consult God’s instruction(N) and the testimony of warning.(O) If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light(P) of dawn. 21 Distressed and hungry,(Q) they will roam through the land;(R) when they are famished, they will become enraged and, looking upward, will curse(S) their king and their God. 22 Then they will look toward the earth and see only distress and darkness and fearful gloom,(T) and they will be thrust into utter darkness.(U)
