20WoeH1945 to those who 1callH559 evilH7451 goodH2896, and goodH2896 evilH7451; Who 23substituteH7760 darknessH2822 for lightH216 and lightH216 for darknessH2822; Who 4substituteH7760 bitterH4751 for sweetH4966 and sweetH4966 for bitterH4751!21WoeH1945 to those who are 5wiseH2450 in their own eyesH5869 And 6cleverH995 in their own sightH5048H6440!227WoeH1945 to those who are heroesH1368 in drinkingH8354 wineH3196, And valiantH2428 menH376 in mixingH4537 intoxicatingH7941 drinkH7941,238Who declareH6663 the wickedH7563 innocentH6663 for a bribeH7810, And 9takeH5493 awayH5493 the 10rightsH6666 of the onesH6662 who are inH6662 theH6662 rightH6662!
24ThereforeH3651, 11as a tongueH3956 of fireH784 consumesH398 stubbleH7179, And dryH2842 grassH2842 collapsesH7503 in the flameH3852, So their 12rootH8328 will becomeH1961 13like rotH4716, and their blossomH6525 14blowH5927 awayH5927 like dustH80; For they have 15rejectedH3988 the LawH8451 of the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, And discardedH5006 the wordH565 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
