Scripture

Isaiah 5:20-23  (BSFL*)

Translation

NIV

What God said to me

A rose by any other name may not be as sweet. Be careful that you do not misrepresent the truth. Just because you call something that is wrong right does not make it right. Likewise, just because you think you are wise or clever does not make you wise or clever. Be careful to interpret My words in context and in light of all else that I have said.

What I said to God

In the words of the late Richard Turner ,”It is what it is, and it ain’t what it ain’t.” Teach me Your truth. Give me wisdom to interpret Your words.
