Isaiah 5:17

Read in context

Isaiah 5:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

15 So mankind will be brought low, and each man humbled; the arrogant will lower their eyes.

16 But the LORD of Hosts will be exalted by His justice, and the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.

17 Lambs will graze as in their own pastures, and strangers will feed in the ruins of the wealthy.

18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of deceit and pull sin along with cart ropes,

19 to those who say, “Let Him hurry and hasten His work so that we may see it! Let the plan of the Holy One of Israel come so that we may know it!”
