Isaiah 5:18-20

Living Bible

¹⁸ Woe to those who drag their sins behind them like a bullock on a rope.^{[a] 19} They even mock the Holy One of Israel and dare the Lord to punish them.^[b] “Hurry up and punish us, O Lord,” they say. “We want to see what you can do!” ²⁰ They say that what is right is wrong and what is wrong is right; that black is white and white is black; bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.
