16. But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
17. Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
18. Woe to them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart-rope:
19. That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
20. Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21. Woe to them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22. Woe to them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23. Who justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
