Isaiah 5:18 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

18Woe to those who draw sin along with cords of deceit,

and wickedness as with cart ropes,

18¶Woe to those who drag wrongdoing with the cords of 5:18 Or worthlessnessdeceit,

And sin as if with cart ropes;

18Woe to those who drag iniquity with the cords of falsehood,

And sin as if with cart ropes;

18¶Woe (judgment is coming) to those who drag along wickedness with cords of falsehood,

And sin as if with cart ropes [towing their own punishment];

18Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of deceit

and pull sin along with cart ropes,

18How terrible it will be for those who continue to sin

and lie about it!

How terrible for those who keep on doing what is evil

as if they were tied to it!
