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
International Standard Version
Judgment on Mockers
18 “How terrible it will be for those who parade iniquity with cords of falsehood,
who draw sin along as[a] with a cart rope;
19 who say: ‘Let God[b] be quick,
let him speed up[c] his work
so we may see it!
Let it happen!
let the plan of the Holy One of Israel draw near,
so we may recognize it!’”
