Isaiah 5:18-27
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
18
Woe to those who drag wrongdoing with the cords of deceit,
And sin as if with cart ropes;
19
Who say, 'Let Him hurry, let Him do His work quickly, so that we may see
it;
And let the plan of the Holy One of Israel approach
And come to pass, so that we may know
it!
'
20
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
21
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight!
22
Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine,
And valiant men in mixing intoxicating drink,
23
Who declare the wicked innocent for a bribe,
And take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!
24
Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes stubble,
And dry grass collapses in the flame,
So their root will become like rot, and their blossom blow away like dust;
For they have rejected the Law of the
Lord
of armies,
And discarded the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25
For this reason the anger of the
Lord
has burned against His people,
And He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them.
And the mountains quaked, and their corpses lay like refuse in the middle of the streets.
Despite all this, His anger is not spent,
But His hand is still stretched out.
26
He will also lift up a flag to the distant nation,
And whistle for it from the ends of the earth;
And behold, it will come with speed swiftly.
27
No one in it is tired or stumbles,
No one slumbers or sleeps;
Nor is the undergarment at his waist loosened,
Nor his sandal strap broken.
King James Version
Chapter 5
18
Woe unto 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 unto 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 unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22
Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23
Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24
Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the
Lord
of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25
Therefore is the anger of the
Lord
kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
26
And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
27
None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
18
Woe to those who drag iniquity
with cords of deceit
and pull sin along with cart ropes,
19
to those who say:
"Let him hurry up and do his work quickly
so that we can see it!
Let the plan of the Holy One of Israel take place
so that we can know it!"
20
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who substitute darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who substitute bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
21
Woe to those who consider themselves wise
and judge themselves clever.
22
Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine,
who are champions at pouring beer,
23
who acquit the guilty for a bribe
and deprive the innocent of justice.
24
Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes straw
and as dry grass shrivels in the flame,
so their roots will become like something rotten
and their blossoms will blow away like dust,
for they have rejected
the instruction of the
Lord
of Armies,
and they have despised
the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25
Therefore the
Lord
’s anger burned against his people.
He raised his hand against them and struck them;
the mountains quaked,
and their corpses were like garbage in the streets.
In all this, his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is still raised to strike.
26
He raises a signal flag for the distant nations
and whistles for them from the ends of the earth.
Look—how quickly and swiftly they come!
27
None of them grows weary or stumbles;
no one slumbers or sleeps.
No belt is loose
and no sandal strap broken.
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
18
What sorrow for those who drag their sins behind them
with ropes made of lies,
who drag wickedness behind them like a cart!
19
They even mock God and say,
'Hurry up and do something!
We want to see what you can do.
Let the Holy One of Israel carry out his plan,
for we want to know what it is.'
20
What sorrow for those who say
that evil is good and good is evil,
that dark is light and light is dark,
that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.
21
What sorrow for those who are wise in their own eyes
and think themselves so clever.
22
What sorrow for those who are heroes at drinking wine
and boast about all the alcohol they can hold.
23
They take bribes to let the wicked go free,
and they punish the innocent.
24
Therefore, just as fire licks up stubble
and dry grass shrivels in the flame,
so their roots will rot
and their flowers wither.
For they have rejected the law of the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies;
they have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25
That is why the
Lord
’s anger burns against his people,
and why he has raised his fist to crush them.
The mountains tremble,
and the corpses of his people litter the streets like garbage.
But even then the
Lord
’s anger is not satisfied.
His fist is still poised to strike!
26
He will send a signal to distant nations far away
and whistle to those at the ends of the earth.
They will come racing toward Jerusalem.
27
They will not get tired or stumble.
They will not stop for rest or sleep.
Not a belt will be loose,
not a sandal strap broken.
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
18
Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood,
who draw sin as with cart ropes,
19
who say: "Let him be quick,
let him speed his work
that we may see it;
let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near,
and let it come, that we may know it!"
20
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!
21
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
and shrewd in their own sight!
22
Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine,
and valiant men in mixing strong drink,
23
who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
and deprive the innocent of his right!
24
Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,
and as dry grass sinks down in the flame,
so their root will be as rottenness,
and their blossom go up like dust;
for they have rejected the law of the
Lord
of hosts,
and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25
Therefore the anger of the
Lord
was kindled against his people,
and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them,
and the mountains quaked;
and their corpses were as refuse
in the midst of the streets.
For all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.
26
He will raise a signal for nations far away,
and whistle for them from the ends of the earth;
and behold, quickly, speedily they come!
27
None is weary, none stumbles,
none slumbers or sleeps,
not a waistband is loose,
not a sandal strap broken;
New International Version
Chapter 5
18
Woe to those who draw sin along with cords of deceit,
and wickedness as with cart ropes,
19
to those who say, "Let God hurry;
let him hasten his work
so we may see it.
The plan of the Holy One of Israel—
let it approach, let it come into view,
so we may know it."
20
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
21
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
and clever in their own sight.
22
Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine
and champions at mixing drinks,
23
who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
but deny justice to the innocent.
24
Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw
and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay
and their flowers blow away like dust;
for they have rejected the law of the
Lord
Almighty
and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25
Therefore the
Lord
’s anger burns against his people;
his hand is raised and he strikes them down.
The mountains shake,
and the dead bodies are like refuse in the streets. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.
26
He lifts up a banner for the distant nations,
he whistles for those at the ends of the earth.
Here they come,
swiftly and speedily!
27
Not one of them grows tired or stumbles,
not one slumbers or sleeps;
not a belt is loosened at the waist,
not a sandal strap is broken.
New King James Version
Chapter 5
18
Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of vanity,
And sin as if 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 near and come,
That we may know
it.
”
20
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21
Woe to
those who are
wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight!
22
Woe to men mighty at drinking wine,
Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,
23
Who justify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away justice from the righteous man!
24
Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble,
And the flame consumes the chaff,
So
their root will be as rottenness,
And their blossom will ascend like dust;
Because they have rejected the law of the
Lord
of hosts,
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25
Therefore the anger of the
Lord
is aroused against His people;
He has stretched out His hand against them
And stricken them,
And the hills trembled.
Their carcasses
were
as refuse in the midst of the streets.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand
is
stretched out still.
26
He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar,
And will whistle to them from the end of the earth;
Surely they shall come with speed, swiftly.
27
No one will be weary or stumble among them,
No one will slumber or sleep;
Nor will the belt on their loins be loosed,
Nor the strap of their sandals be broken;
