Doom to You

Have you read Chapter 5 in Isaiah? I call it "The Chapter of Six Woes". Even though I prefer using the NIV Bible translation, I like the way The Message Bible states the first five woes. It says “Doom to you” instead of “Woe to those.”
1. Doom to you who buy up all the houses and grab all the land for yourselves — evicting the old owners, posting No Trespassing signs, taking over the country, leaving everyone homeless and landless. Isaiah 5:8
2. Doom to those who get up early and start drinking booze before breakfast, who stay up all hours of the night drinking themselves into a stupor. Isaiah 5:11
3. Doom to you who use lies to sell evil,… Isaiah 5:18a
4. Doom to you who call evil good and good evil,… Isaiah 5:20
5. Doom to you who think you're so smart, who hold such a high opinion of yourselves! Isaiah 5:21
6. Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks, who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent. Isaiah 5:22-23 NIV

God’s Word is very plain. God hates sin.

So why do we continue to excuse our sins, especially our favorite vices, instead of sincerely repenting to God. Yes, he loves us but God hates our sin.

Lord, show me my sin and through the power of the Holy Spirit give me the ability to overcome my sinful practices.
