Songtext von 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
