Isaiah 5:18-19
New American Standard Bible
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!”

Isaiah 5:18-19
New Living Translation
18 What sorrow for those who drag their sins behind them
with ropes made of lies,
who drag wickedness behind them like a cart!
19 They even mock God and say,
“Hurry up and do something!
We want to see what you can do.
Let the Holy One of Israel carry out his plan,
for we want to know what it is.”
