The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled).

Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.

Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands have done.

Listen, that you may live.

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
