Chassidut sobre Isaías 5:20

In truth, in this generation, there are mockers and heretics against the sages, just as there were in the time of the Ari, of blessed memory, people like this, as written by Rabbi Chaim Vital, of blessed memory. From my youth, my heart has adhered to the faith of these sages, and my friend and fellow, my brother-in-law, Rabbi Yoel, may he live long, also adhered to their faith. Blessed is he who clings to their faith and words; woe to the wicked who cast off the yoke of Torah and fear of the Blessed Holy One from upon them and present themselves as righteous, mocking the angels of God with lies and falsehoods they invent. My soul knows very well their evil and wickedness, for many of them are sinners in adultery, God forbid. Some are full of pride and jealousy, and from their jealousy, they blemish and defile the holy ones with their lies and falsehoods. True prophets have already prophesied about them that this would be in the last generation, as it is written (Isaiah 59:15), "And truth is lacking," and (Isaiah 5:20), "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil," especially in the Mishnah in Sotah (49b), "In the footsteps of the Messiah," etc. They will have what they deserve, and we have saved our souls.
