Amplified Bible
Isaiah 5:18-23
18Woe (judgment is coming) to those who drag along wickedness with cords of falsehood, And sin as if with cart ropes [towing their own punishment];
19Who say, “Let Him move speedily, let Him expedite His work [His promised vengeance], so that we may see it; And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel approach And come to pass, so that we may know it!”
20Woe (judgment is coming) to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
21Woe (judgment is coming) to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever and shrewd in their own sight!
22Woe (judgment is coming) to those who are heroes at drinking wine And men of strength in mixing intoxicating drinks,
23Who justify the wicked and acquit the guilty for a bribe, And take away the rights of those who are in the right!
