Isaiah 5:19

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!

22 Woe to men mighty at drinking wine,
Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,

Let the counsel of the Holy One - Tryphiodorus has an expression something like this: -

\ri720 - .

Tryph. Il Excid. 239.

\ri720 Because the counsel of Jupiter was come.

\ri720 "This expression, , is, I believe, something uncommon; but it is exactly paralleled and explained by a passage in Isaiah, Isaiah 5:19. The Septuagint has expressed it in the very same words with Tryphiodorus: ̔ ̔ , ̔ ." - Merrick' s note, AD loc.
