Isaiah 5:18 in Context — Isaiah 5

16 Mas Jehová de los ejércitos será ensalzado en juicio, y el Dios Santo será santificado con justicia.

17 Y los corderos serán apacentados según su costumbre; y extraños comerán las gruesas desamparadas.

18 ¡Ay de los que traen la iniquidad con cuerdas de vanidad, y el pecado como con coyundas de carreta,

19 Los cuales dicen: Venga ya, apresúrese su obra, y veamos: acérquese, y venga el consejo del Santo de Israel, para que lo sepamos!

20 ¡Ay de los que á lo malo dicen bueno, y á lo bueno malo; que hacen de la luz tinieblas, y de las tinieblas luz; que ponen lo amargo por dulce, y lo dulce por amargo!
