Isaiah 5:17

Woes On The Wicked

¹⁶ But the Lord of Hosts is exalted by His justice,
and the holy God is distinguished by righteousness.
¹⁷ Lambs will graze
as if in their own pastures,
and strangers will eat
among the ruins of the rich. ¹⁸ Woe to those who drag wickedness
with cords of deceit
and pull sin along with cart ropes,
