Isaiah 5:21 Context
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. 22Woe vnto them that are mightie to drinke wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drinke. 23Which iustifie the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousnes of the righteous from him.
