18Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of deceit and pull sin along with cart ropes,
19to those who say, “Let Him hurry and hasten His work so that we may see it! Let the plan of the Holy One of Israel come so that we may know it!”
20Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter.
21Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.
22Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine and champions in mixing strong drink,
23who acquit the guilty for a bribe and deprive the innocent of justice.
