Isaiah 5:18

Woes On The Wicked

¹⁷
Then the lambs will graze [among the ruins] as in their own pasture,
And strangers will eat in the desolate places of the [exiled] wealthy. ¹⁸ 
Woe (judgment is coming) to those who drag along wickedness with cords of falsehood,
And sin as if with cart ropes [towing their own punishment];
¹⁹
Who say, “Let Him move speedily, let Him expedite His work [His promised vengeance], so that we may see it;
And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel approach
And come to pass, so that we may know it!”

As Good as Dead

Woe to Those

Woe Unto Them

Sin

And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.
