20. Woe to those who call evil goodand good evil, who substitute darkness for lightand light for darkness,who substitute bitter for sweetand sweet for bitter.
21. Woe to those who are wise in their own opinionand clever in their own sight.
22. Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine,who are fearless at mixing beer,
23. who acquit the guilty for a bribe and deprive the innocent of justice.
24. Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes strawand as dry grass shrivels in the flame,so their roots will become like something rottenand their blossoms will blow away like dust,for they have rejected the instruction of the Lord of Hosts,and they have despisedthe word of the Holy One of Israel.
