Isaiah 5:20-24

20WoeH1945 unto them that callH559 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 their ownH6440 eyesH5869, and prudentH995 in their ownH6440 sightH5869!

22WoeH1945 unto them that are mightyH1368 to drinkH8354 wineH3196, and menH376 of strengthH2428 to mingle strongH7941 drinkH8354:

23which justifyH6663 the wickedH7563 for a rewardH6118, and takeH5493 awayH5493 the righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 from him!

24Therefore as the tongueH3956 of fireH784 devoureth the stubbleH7179, and as the dryH2842 grassH2842 sinketh downH3588 in the flameH3852, soH3651 their rootH8328 shall be as rottenness, and their blossomH6525 shall goH5927 upH5927 as dustH80: becauseH3588 they have rejectedH3988 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and despisedH5006 the wordH565 of the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.
