¹⁹ to those who say, “Let Him hurry and hasten His work so that we may see it! Let the plan of the Holy One of Israel come so that we may know it!”

²⁰ Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter.

²¹ Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.

²² Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine and champions in mixing strong drink,

²³ who acquit the guilty for a bribe and deprive the innocent of justice.
