Isaiah 5:19-23 Common English Bible (CEB)

19. who say, "God should hurry and work faster so we can see;let the plan of Israel’s holy one come quickly, so we can understand it."

20. Doom to those who call evil good and good evil,who present darkness as light and light as darkness,who make bitterness sweet and sweetness bitter.

21. Doom to thosewho consider themselves wise,who think of themselves as clever.

22. Doom to the wine-swigging warriors,mighty at mixing drinks,

23. who spare the guilty for bribes,and rob the innocent of their rights.
