^17 (A)You have wearied the Lord with your words;
Yet you say,
“In what way have we wearied Him?”
In that you say,
^(B)“Everyone who does evil
Is good in the sight of the Lord,
And He delights in them,”
Or, “Where is the God of justice?”

¹² “And it shall come to pass at that time
That I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
And punish the men
Who are ^(A)settled^[a] in complacency,
^(B)Who say in their heart,
‘The Lord will not do good,
Nor will He do evil.’

¹⁸ Woe to those who ^[a]draw iniquity with cords of ^[b]vanity,
And sin as if with a cart rope;
^19 (A)That say, “Let Him make speed and hasten His work,
That we may see it;
And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come,
That we may know it.”

²⁰ Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

⁷ “You offer ^(D)defiled food on My altar,
But say,
‘In what way have we defiled You?’
By saying,
^(E)‘The table of the Lord is ^[a]contemptible.’

¹³ “Behold,^(A) I am ^[a]weighed down by you,
As a cart full of sheaves ^[b]is weighed down.
