Isaías 5:21

Listen to Isaías 5:21
21 ¡Ay de los sabios en sus ojos, y de los que son prudentes delante de sí mismos!

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.

Isaías 5:21 In-Context

19 Los cuales dicen: Venga ya, apresúrese su obra, y veamos: acérquese, y venga el consejo del Santo de Israel, para que lo sepamos!
20 ¡Ay de los que á lo malo dicen bueno, y á lo bueno malo; que hacen de la luz tinieblas, y de las tinieblas luz; que ponen lo amargo por dulce, y lo dulce por amargo!
21 ¡Ay de los sabios en sus ojos, y de los que son prudentes delante de sí mismos!
22 ¡Ay de los que son valientes para beber vino, y hombres fuertes para mezclar bebida;
23 Los que dan por justo al impío por cohechos, y al justo quitan su justicia!
