Isaiah 5:17

Nobody remains to look after the farmer’s animals.

People who refuse a moral life

v18 People are unable to free themselves from their wicked practices. v19 They even insult the Holy God of Israel and invite him to punish them. ‘Be quick and punish us! We want to see what you can do!’ v20 *Woe to those people! They say that evil things are good. And they say that good things are evil. They say that black is white. And they say that white is black. They say that bitter things are sweet. And they say that sweet things are bitter. v21 *Woe to people who consider that they themselves are so wise. They believe themselves to be so clever. v22 *Woe to people who are so great – so great to be able to drink much alcohol. And so brave – so brave to mix strong drinks. v23 They free a guilty man because of a secret gift. But they send an innocent man to prison.
