18
Ah, you who drag iniquity along with cords of falsehood, who drag sin along as with cart ropes,
19
who say, "Let him make haste, let him speed his work that we may see it; let the plan of the Holy One of Israel hasten to fulfillment, that we may know it!"
20
Ah, you 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
Ah, you who are wise in your own eyes, and shrewd in your own sight!
22
Ah, you who are heroes in drinking wine and valiant at mixing drink,
23
who acquit the guilty for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of their rights!
