20 Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,(A)
who substitute darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who substitute bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
21 Woe to those who consider themselves wise
and judge themselves clever.[a](B)
22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine,
who are champions at pouring beer,(C)
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe(D)
and deprive the innocent of justice.
