In context
15 So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
16 but the LORD of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
17 Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.
18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope,
19 who say, “Let him make haste, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!”
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
