Isaiah 5:20-24

20WoeH1945 unto them that call evilH7451 goodH2896, and goodH2896 evilH7451; that putH7760 darknessH2822 for lightH216, and lightH216 for darknessH2822; that putH7760 bitterH4751 for sweetH4966, and sweetH4966 for bitterH4751! 21WoeH1945 unto them that are wiseH2450 in their own eyesH5869, and prudent in their own sight! 22WoeH1945 unto them that are mightyH1368 to drinkH8354 wineH3196, and menH376 of strengthH2428 to mingle strongH7941 drinkH8354; 23that justifyH6663 the wickedH7563 for a bribeH7810, and take awayH5493 the righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 from him!

24ThereforeH3651 as the tongueH3956 of fireH784 devoureth the stubbleH7179, and as the dryH2842 grassH2842 sinketh down in the flameH3852, soH3651 their rootH8328 shall beH1961 as rottenness, and their blossomH6525 shall goH5927 up as dustH80; because they have rejectedH3988 the lawH8451 of Jehovah of hostsH6635, and despised the wordH565 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
