Isaías 5:21 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 5:21

Woe unto [therm that are] wise in their own eyes
And yet betray such stupidity and sottishness, as to call things by their wrong names; and make such a perverse judgment of them, as before described. This is a true description of the Scribes and Pharisees in Christ's time; who said, "dost thou teach us? are we blind also?" ( John 9:34-40 ) and prudent in their own sight;
being wise above what was written; leaving the word of God, and following the traditions of the elders.

19 Los que dicen: Que se dé prisa, que apresure su obra, para que la veamos; que se acerque y venga el propósito del Santo de Israel, para que lo sepamos.
20 ¡Ay de los que llaman al mal bien y al bien mal, que tienen las tinieblas por luz y la luz por tinieblas, que tienen lo amargo por dulce y lo dulce por amargo!
21 ¡Ay de los sabios a sus propios ojos e inteligentes ante sí mismos!
22 ¡Ay de los héroes para beber vino y valientes para mezclar bebidas,
23 que justifican al impĂ­o por soborno y quitan al justo su derecho!
