17And fed have lambs according to their leading, And waste places of the fat ones Do sojourners consume.
18Wo [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart -- sin.
19Who are saying, `Let Him hurry, Let Him hasten His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.`
20Wo [to] those saying to evil `good,` And to good `evil,` Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
21Wo [to] the wise in their own eyes, And -- before their own faces -- intelligent!
22Wo [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.
23Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him.
