New Testament

Isaiah 5:17-20 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

17. And the lambs will pasture in proper order, and new arrivals will eat from the deserts turned into fertile lands.

18. Woe to you who draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and who draw sin as if with the rope of a cart,

19. and who say: "Let him hurry, and let his work arrive soon, so that we may see it. And let the plan of the Holy One of Israel approach and arrive, so that we may know it."

20. Woe to you who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light, and light for darkness; who exchange bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
