Isaiah 5:18-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 Woe to those who drag iniquity along with cords of falsehood,
who drag sin along as with cart ropes,(A)
19 who say, “Let him make haste;
let him speed his work
that we may see it;
let the plan of the Holy One of Israel hasten to fulfillment,
that we may know it!”(B)
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.”
