16 But the holy Lord God All-Powerful is praised, because he has shown who he is by bringing justice.
17 His people will be like sheep grazing in their own pasture, and they will take off what was left by others.
18 You are in for trouble! The lies you tell are like ropes by which you drag along sin and evil.
19 And you say, “Let the holy God of Israel hurry up and do what he has promised, so we can see it for ourselves.”
20 You are headed for trouble! You say wrong is right, darkness is light, and bitter is sweet.
21 You think you are clever and smart.
22 And you are great at drinking and mixing drinks. But you are in for trouble.
