Their Own Sight

Woe to those who call evil good
- and good evil
Woe to those who put darkness for light
- and light for darkness
Woe to those who put bitter for sweet
- and sweet for bitter
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
- and prudent in their own sight

But they do not regard the work of the Lord
Nor consider the operation of His hand
Therefore as fire devours the stubble
So their root will be as rottenness
Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of Hosts
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel
For all this His anger is not turned away
He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar
Therefore my people have gone into captivity
Because they have no knowledge
Their honorable men are famished
And their multitude dried up with thirst
