20 Wo be vnto them that call euyll good, and good euyll, which make darknesse lyght, and lyght darknesse, that make sowre sweete, and sweete sowre
21 Wo be vnto them that are wise in their owne syght, and thynke them selues to haue vnderstandyng
22 Wo be vnto them that are strong to suppe out wine, and expert men to set vp drunkennesse

29 His crye is as it were of a Lion, and he roreth lyke Lions whelpes: they shall roare and hantche vpon the pray, and no man shall recouer it, nor get it from them
30 In that day he shalbe so fierce vpon him as the raging of the sea: then one shall beholde the lande, and lo darkenesse and sorow, and the light is darkened in the heauens therof
