Isaiah 5:20 – 21

Woe (judgment is coming) to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe (judgment is coming) to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever and shrewd in their own sight.

When we are not following the Lord and are doing evil in His sight, judgment will come. The Lord is long-suffering, wanting people to repent. Evil will never be a substitute for good nor right in the eyes of God. Never think that wickedness brings about prosperity. The end is eternal judgment and separation from God.
