Good: it’s the new Evil
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.
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
and clever in their own sight.
Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine
and champions at mixing drinks,
who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
but deny justice to the innocent.
Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw
and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay
and their flowers blow away like dust;
for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty
and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel.
– Isaiah 5:20-24
In this scripture, the Lord has pronounced judgment against corrupt courts, who are allowing every kind of evil to flourish, and persecuting Christians for adhering to the demands of conscience.
A word of advice to these corrupt courts: Buy flame retardant underwear.
