    who draw sin as with cart ropes,
19 who say: (B)“Let him be quick,
    let him speed his work
    that we may see it;
let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near,
    and let it come, that we may know it!”
20 Woe to (C)those who call evil good
    and good evil,
(D)who put darkness for light
    and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
    and sweet for bitter!
