Into the Fire

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. 

Isaiah 5:20-23 (NIV)
