Isaiah 5:19 Context
17Then shall the lambes feed after their maner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eate. 18Woe vnto them that draw iniquitie with cords of vanitie, and sinne, as it were with a cart rope: 19That say, Let him make speede, and hasten his worke, that we may see it: and let the counsell of the holy one of Israel draw nigh and come, that wee may know it. 20¶ Woe vnto them that call euill good, and good euill, that put darkenes for light, and light for darkenesse, that put bitter for sweete, and sweete for bitter. 21Woe vnto them that are wise in their owne eyes, and prudent in their owne sight.
