Isaiah 5:20

IV. WOE TO THOSE WHO REVERSE MORAL STANDARDS

"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!"

Dummelow called this the "perversion of all moral distinctions."[11] Calling sins by names that appear to approve of them is an old satanic trick. Thus the infidel is called a free thinker; the drunkard is called sociable; the alcoholic suffers from alcoholism; the stingy is called thrifty, etc.
