15 (A)Man is humbled, and each one is brought low,
    and the eyes of the haughty[a] are brought low.
16 (B)But the Lord of hosts is exalted[b] in justice,
    and the Holy God shows himself holy in righteousness.
17 Then shall the lambs graze (C)as in their pasture,
    and (D)nomads shall eat among the ruins of the rich.

18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with (E)cords of falsehood,
    who draw sin as with cart ropes,
19 who say: (F)“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 (G)those who call evil good
    and good evil,
(H)who put darkness for light
    and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
    and sweet for bitter!
