Isaiah 5:19-21
International Children’s Bible
19 They say, “Let’s see God hurry.
Let’s see him do his work soon.
We want to see it.
Let’s see the plan of the Holy One of Israel happen soon.
Then we would know what it really is.”
20 How terrible it will be for people who call good things bad
and bad things good.
They think darkness is light
and light is darkness.
They think sour is sweet
and sweet is sour.
21 How terrible it will be for people who think they are wise.
They think they are clever.
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.
