Isaiah 5:21 in Context — Isaiah 5
19 Et qui disent: Qu’il hâte, qu’il accélère son œuvre, Afin que nous la voyions! Que le décret du Saint d’Israël arrive et s’exécute, Afin que nous le connaissions!
20 Malheur à ceux qui appellent le mal bien, et le bien mal, Qui changent les ténèbres en lumière, et la lumière en ténèbres, Qui changent l’amertume en douceur, et la douceur en amertume!
21 Malheur à ceux qui sont sages à leurs yeux, Et qui se croient intelligents!
22 Malheur à ceux qui ont de la bravoure pour boire du vin, Et de la vaillance pour mêler des liqueurs fortes;
23 Qui justifient le coupable pour un présent, Et enlèvent aux innocents leurs droits!
