Isaiah 5:18 in Context — Isaiah 5

16 Mas o SENHOR dos exércitos será exaltado com juízo; e Deus, o Santo, será santificado com justiça.

17 E os cordeiros pastarão como se fosse seus próprios pastos, e os estranhos comerão [do alimento proveniente] dos lugares abandonados dos ricos.

18 Ai dos que puxam perversidade com cordas de futilidade, e pelo pecado como que [com] cordas de carruagens!

19 E dizem: Que ele se apresse, acelere sua obra, para que a vejamos; e aproxime-se e venha o conselho do Santo de Israel, para que possamos saber.

20 Ai dos que chamam o mal de bem, e o bem de mal; que trocam as trevas pela luz, e a luz pelas trevas; e trocam o amargo pelo doce, e o doce pelo amargo!
