Isaiah 5:18-25

18WoeH1945 to those who dragH4900 1iniquityH5771 with the cordsH2256 of 2falsehoodH7723, And sinH2403 as if with cartH5699 ropesH5688;193Who sayH559, “Let Him makeH4116 speedH4116, let Him hastenH2363 His workH4639, that we may seeH7200 it; And let the purposeH6098 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 drawH7126 nearH7126 And comeH935 to passH935, that we may knowH3045 it!”20WoeH1945 to those who 4callH559 evilH7451 goodH2896, and goodH2896 evilH7451; Who 56substituteH7760 darknessH2822 for lightH216 and lightH216 for darknessH2822; Who 7substituteH7760 bitterH4751 for sweetH4966 and sweetH4966 for bitterH4751!21WoeH1945 to those whoH2450 are 8wiseH2450 in their own eyesH5869 And cleverH995 in their own sightH5048H6440!229WoeH1945 to those who are heroesH1368 in drinkingH8354 wineH3196 And valiantH2428 menH376 in mixingH4537 strongH7941 drinkH7941,2310Who justifyH6663 the wickedH7563 for a bribeH7810, And 11takeH5493 awayH5493 the 12rightsH6666 of the ones whoH6662 are in the rightH6662!

24ThereforeH3651, 13as a tongueH3956 of fireH784 consumesH398 stubbleH7179 And dryH2842 grassH2842 collapsesH7503 into the flameH3852, So their 14rootH8328 will becomeH1961 15like rotH4716 and their blossomH6525 16blowH5927 awayH5927 as dustH80; For they have 17rejectedH3988 the lawH8451 of the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 And despisedH5006 the wordH565 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.25On thisH3651 accountH3651 the 18angerH639 of the LordH3068 has burnedH2734 against His peopleH5971, And He has stretchedH5186 out His handH3027 againstH5921 them and struckH5221 them downH5221. And the 19mountainsH2022 quakedH7264, and their 20corpsesH5038 21layH1961 like refuseH5478 in the middleH7130 of the streetsH2351. 22For allH3605 thisH2088 His angerH639 23is not spentH7725, But His 24handH3027 is stillH5750 stretchedH5186 out.
