15 So people will be brought low(A)
    and everyone humbled,(B)
    the eyes of the arrogant(C) humbled.
16 But the Lord Almighty will be exalted(D) by his justice,(E)
    and the holy God will be proved holy(F) by his righteous acts.
17 Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture;(G)
    lambs will feed[a] among the ruins of the rich.

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

20 Woe(N) to those who call evil good(O)
    and good evil,(P)
who put darkness for light
    and light for darkness,(Q)
who put bitter for sweet
    and sweet for bitter.(R)
