이사야 5:20의 무사르

However, he who sets his desire and wish on evil deeds and is gracious to the wicked and to their deeds, and rejects the righteous ones, him will his graciousness bring to the netherworld. Concerning him it is said "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil" (Is. 5:20). And it is further said "He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous, even they both are an abomination to the Lord" (Prov. 17:15).

And just as much pain and anguish and troubles are the sickness of the body so are most of the evil traits the sickness of the soul. And just as the sickness of the body tastes the bitter as sweet and the sweet as bitter and there is, among those who are ill, one that longs for food that is not good for him and hates good food, and all of this depends upon the extent of his sickness, so do people whose souls are sick, long for and love evil traits and they hate the good path or are too lazy to walk on it, and it is very hard for them according to the extent of their sickness. And thus Isaiah says concerning these men, "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that change darkness into light, and light into darkness; that change bitter into sweet, and sweet into bitter" (Is. 5:20). And concerning them it is said, "Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness" (Prov. 2:13).

So, too, if someone prevents others from fulfilling any of the mitzvos or from carrying out any holy endeavor the punishment awaiting him is beyond expression. Also included within this category is the one who says, “I will not give and I do not want others to give either.” The Sages teach that such a person is called “wicked” (Pirkei Avos 5:13). Therefore communal leaders must be careful not to hinder private individuals from carrying out worthy projects. Influencing others to transgress includes backing up the words of a cruel hearted man for the sake of the food and drink one enjoys in his house. Concerning this the prophet said, “Woe to those who say of evil that it is good” (Yeshayahu 5:20). In their hearts they know that all his deeds emanate from the shells of impurity and that all his words are meant for evil. They know that his only interest is in vengeance, grudge- bearing, theft, injustice, vanity, falsehood, defilement and abomination. But what they fail to realize is that Hashem will bring all these things to judgment. Therefore they foolishly glorify and praise him, telling him what a great sage he is and ascribing to him other such distinctions, when in fact they only flatter him in order to satiate their gullets because this cruel fellow sometimes invites them to dine with him. They are unaware that in the final analysis all the sustenance that they received from him was filled with swords and javelins that will cause them plagues, cuts, blisters and wounds. For they will suffer greatly for having partaken of the bread of man with an evil eye, as has already been explained (Ch. 26). Ultimately they will experience blow after blow and devastation after devastation until they fall helpless.
