“Woe unto 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 KJV
Isaiah is clear about the values of God’s Word and says that it is a curse to those who call evil good and good evil, and replace darkness with light and light with darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter. Cursed are those who are wise in their own eyes and see themselves as clever and shrewd. The moral code is reversed, as sin is accepted as something good. Not content to abandon what is good, they must label it as evil. Those who abandon the absolute standards of God’s Word will find a reversal of every virtue. Good is mocked and evil is embraced. Light is ridiculed and darkness is worn like a cloak. The sweetness of God is called bitter; the bitterness of sin is called sweet. Who will outwit Eternal Wisdom? Who can outsmart Infinite Intelligence? God will resist the proud of heart. The wisdom that comes from above is without pride. Let’s humble ourselves and in Christ become the wisdom of God and the power of God. Hallelujah!
