Isaiah 5:18

Isaiah 5:18 in 10 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 deceit,

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,

18Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope;

18Woe vnto them, that draw iniquitie with cordes of vanitie, and sinne, as with cart ropes:

18Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood,

and wickedness as with cart rope,

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!

18It will be very bad for you people who are always deceiving others. You cannot leave your sins behind, like someone who pulls a cart with a rope.

18Woe [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, || And as [with] thick ropes of the cart—sin.
