Isaiah 5:21 in Context — Isaiah 5
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!
21 Ai dos [que se acham] sábios aos seus próprios olhos, e prudentes para si mesmos!
22 Ai dos [que se acham] corajosos para beberem vinho, e homens fortes para misturarem bebida alcoólica!
23 [Ai d] os que inocentam o perverso por causa de suborno, e se desviam da justiça dos justos!
