Woe to the Worldly Wise

"Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!" (Isaiah 5:20,21). "Every man's judgment cometh from the Lord" (Proverbs 29:26).

Woe to the arrogant, worldly wise!
Woe to those prudent within their own eyes!
Asserting they know what they've not understood,
While good is called evil, they call evil good.

Woe to the fools who suppress what is right.
While light is call darkness, they call darkness light.
And sweet is called bitter, and bitter is sweet,
For soon they will stand before God's judgment seat!
