Isaiah 5:18-23
King James Version
18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
19 That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
20 Woe unto them 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 unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

New International Version
18 Woe(A) to those who draw sin along with cords(B) of deceit,
and wickedness(C) as with cart ropes,
19 to those who say, “Let God hurry;
let him hasten(D) his work
so we may see it.
The plan of the Holy One(E) of Israel—
let it approach, let it come into view,
so we may know it.”(F)
20 Woe(G) to those who call evil good(H)
and good evil,(I)
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,(J)
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.(K)
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes(L)
and clever in their own sight.
