NASB
"Woe to those who drag iniquity with the cords of falsehood, And sin as if with cart ropes;"
— Isaiah 5:18, NASB
“Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:”
“Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope; ”
“Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope;”
“Beware, those who pull evil along using cords of emptiness are as good as dead, who pull sin as with cart ropes.”
“Woe to you that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as the rope of a cart.”
“Cursed are those who make use of ox-cords for pulling the evil thing, and the bands of a young ox for their sin!”
“Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:”
So the common man will be humbled and the man of importance abased, The eyes of the proud also will be abased.
But the LORD of hosts will be exalted in judgment, And the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.
Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, And strangers will eat in the waste places of the wealthy.
Woe to those who drag iniquity with the cords of falsehood, And sin as if with cart ropes;
Who say, "Let Him make speed, let Him hasten His work, that we may see it; And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near And come to pass, that we may know it!"
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own sight!
