Isaiah 5:18-25

18WoeH1945 unto them that drawH4900 iniquityH5771 with cordsH5688 of vanityH7723, and sinH2403 as with cart-ropes!

19who sayH559, Let him hastenH4116, let him speed his workH4639, that we may seeH7200 [it]; and let the counselH6098 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 drawH7126 nigh and comeH935, that we may knowH3045 it!

20WoeH1945 unto them who call evilH7451 goodH2896, and goodH2896 evilH7451; who putH7760 darknessH2822 for lightH216, and lightH216 for darknessH2822; who putH7760 bitterH4751 for sweetH4966, and sweetH4966 for bitterH4751!

21WoeH1945 unto them that are wiseH2450 in their own eyesH5869, and intelligent in their own esteem!

22WoeH1945 unto them that are mightyH1368 for drinkingH8354 wineH3196, and menH376 valiant to mix strongH7941 drinkH8354;

23who justifyH6663 the wickedH7563 for a bribeH7810, and turnH5493 awayH5493 the righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 from them!

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

25ThereforeH3651 is the angerH639 of Jehovah kindled against his peopleH5971, and he hath stretchedH5186 out his handH3027 against them and hath smitten them; and the mountainsH2022 trembledH7264, and their carcases are becomeH1961 as dung in the midstH7130 of the streetsH2351. For all this his angerH639 is not turnedH7725 awayH7725, and his handH3027 is stretchedH5186 out stillH5750.
