Isaiah 5:20


Isaiah 5:19 Isaiah 5:20 (KJV) Isaiah 5:21
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]!
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!
Woe unto [them that are] wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
