Isaias

20 Woe, they that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

21 Woe, they that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

22 Woe, they that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to ’strong drink:

23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the justice of the just from him!

24 Therefore as the tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and the dry grass sinketh down in flame, their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have rejected the law of the LORD of Hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

25 Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched ’ his hand against them, and hath smitten them; and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were as refuse in the midst of the open places. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:

27 None shall be weary, nor stumble among. them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
