Isaiah 5:18

Isaiah 5:18

16 But the Lord of hosts shall be ^aexalted in judgment,
And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness.

17 Then the lambs shall feed in their pasture,
And in the waste places of ^athe fat ones strangers shall eat.

18 Woe to those who¹ draw iniquity with cords of vanity,
And sin as if with a cart rope;

19 ^aThat say, “Let Him make speed and hasten His work,
That we may see it;
And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come,
That we may know it.”

20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

21 Woe to those who are ^awise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight!

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 5:17

Isaiah 5:19 >>

That draw - That are not only drawn to sin by the allurements of the world; but are active and illustrious in drawing sin to themselves. Cords - Or, with cords of lying, as the last word frequently signifies, with vain and deceitful arguments and pretences, whereby sinners generally draw themselves to sin. A rope - With all their might, as beasts commonly do that draw carts with ropes.
