Isaiah 5:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted by judgment,
by justice the Holy God shown holy.(A)
17 Lambs shall graze as at pasture,
young goats shall eat in the ruins of the rich.
18 Ah! Those who tug at guilt with cords of perversity,
and at sin as if with cart ropes!
