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.” ‡

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

23 Who ^ajustify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away justice from the righteous man! ‡
