Their Own Sight

Woe to those who call evil good

- and good evil

Woe to those who put darkness for light

- and light for darkness

Woe to those who put bitter for sweet

- and sweet for bitter

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes

- and prudent in their own sight

But they do not regard the work of the Lord

Nor consider the operation of His hand

Therefore as fire devours the stubble

So their root will be as rottenness

Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of Hosts

And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel

For all this His anger is not turned away

He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar

Therefore my people have gone into captivity

Because they have no knowledge

Their honorable men are famished

And their multitude dried up with thirst
