Isaiah 5:18-20

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁸ How horrible it will be for those
who string people along with lies and empty promises,
whose lives are sinful.
¹⁹ They say,
“Let God hurry and quickly do his work
so that we may see what he has in mind.
Let the plan of the Holy One of Israel happen quickly
so that we may understand what he is doing.”

²⁰ How horrible it will be for those
who call evil good and good evil,
who turn darkness into light and light into darkness,
who turn what is bitter into something sweet
and what is sweet into something bitter.
