Isaiah 5:19-21
Easy-to-Read Version
19 They say, “We wish God would hurry and do what he plans to do so that we can see it. Let the plan of the Holy One of Israel happen soon so that we can know what it is.”
20 Look at those people! They say good is bad and bad is good. They think light is dark and dark is light. They think sour is sweet and sweet is sour. 21 They think they are so smart. They think they are very intelligent.

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.
