Isaiah 5:18-19 The Message (MSG)

Isaiah 5:18-19 King James Version (KJV)

What sorrow for those who drag their sins behind them with ropes made of lies, who drag wickedness behind them like a cart! They even mock God and say, “Hurry up and do something! We want to see what you can do. Let the Holy One of Israel carry out his plan, for we want to know what it is.”
