Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

19 That say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know;

20 Woe, they that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

21 Woe, they that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

22 Woe, they that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to ’strong drink:

23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the justice of the just from him!

24 Therefore as the tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and the dry grass sinketh down in flame, their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have rejected the law of the LORD of Hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
