18. Those who pull evil along using cords of emptiness are as good as dead,who pull sin as with cart ropes.
19. They say, “Let him hurry, let him act quickly, so we can see;let the plan of the Holy One of Israel take shape and come to pass,then we will know it!”
20. Those who call evil good and good evil are as good as dead,who turn darkness into light and light into darkness,who turn bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter.
21. Those who think they are wise are as good as dead,those who think they possess understanding.
