18 Woe to those who drag (A)wrongdoing with the cords of [a]deceit,
And sin as if with cart ropes;
19 (B)Who say, “Let Him hurry, let Him do His work quickly, so that we may see it;
And let the plan of the Holy One of Israel approach
And come to pass, so that we may know it!”

  1. Isaiah 5:18 Or worthlessness

18 Ah! Those who drag iniquity along with the cords of falsehood
    and sin as with rope of the cart,
19 those who say,
“Let him make haste;
    let him hurry his work
        so that we may see it
and let it draw near
    and let the plan of the holy one of Israel come
        so that we may know it!”
