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! 21Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! 22Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: 23Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
Isaiah 5:20-23
You are getting a practical application of this everyday in America, the world for that matter. It is the Left condemning the objective moral standards of God and proclaiming anyone who stands on them as racist, homophobic, intolerant, Nazis, their calling moral standards bad and taking away the righteousness of those that uphold them.
The left can be recognized and is guilty of reincrimination, accusing others of the crimes they are committing. We are fighting a battle in the USA today over whether the objective morals established by God will continue to be upheld or the subjective morals of those abhorred by and abhorrent to God’s objective standards will prevail. In the end God has already chosen to give the world over to them for his final judgment upon the world. It is still our responsibility to proclaim the truth throughout.
Woe means trouble is coming your way.
