Isaiah 5:19-21
Amplified Bible
19
Who say, “Let Him move speedily, let Him expedite His work [His promised vengeance], so that we may see it;
And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel approach
And come to pass, so that we may know it!”
20
Woe (judgment is coming) to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
21
Woe (judgment is coming) to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever and shrewd in their own sight!
Isaiah 5:19-21
New International Version
19 to those who say, “Let God hurry;
let him hasten(A) his work
so we may see it.
The plan of the Holy One(B) of Israel—
let it approach, let it come into view,
so we may know it.”(C)
20 Woe(D) to those who call evil good(E)
and good evil,(F)
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,(G)
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.(H)
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes(I)
and clever in their own sight.
