Isaiah 5:15-22 Good News Bible (GNB)

15. Everyone will be disgraced, and all who are proud will be humbled.

16. But the Lord Almighty shows his greatness by doing what is right, and he reveals his holiness by judging his people.

17. In the ruins of the cities lambs will eat grass and young goats will find pasture.

18. You are doomed! You are unable to break free from your sins.

19. You say, “Let the Lord hurry up and do what he says he will, so that we can see it. Let Israel's holy God carry out his plans; let's see what he has in mind.”

20. You are doomed! You call evil good and call good evil. You turn darkness into light and light into darkness. You make what is bitter sweet, and what is sweet you make bitter.

21. You are doomed! You think you are wise, so very clever.

22. You are doomed! Heroes of the wine bottle! Brave and fearless when it comes to mixing drinks!
