Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

The verse 20 is found in chapter 5 of Isaiah. The six woes denounce different expressions of corruption: accumulation of property, excessive drinking, indifference to God’s work, moral relativism, pride, and judicial corruption. The chapter ends by presenting a foreign nation as an instrument of judgment. Unjust prosperity is not interpreted as a permanent blessing, but as a condition that can lead to ruin.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
