Isaiah 5:20-24
New American Standard Bible
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!
24 Therefore, (G)as a tongue of fire consumes stubble,
And dry grass collapses in the flame,
So their (H)root will become (I)like rot, and their blossom [e]blow away like dust;
For they have (J)rejected the Law of the Lord of armies,
And discarded the word of the Holy One of Israel.
