20 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!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Comments by Joan Boney:
Sadly,
I've often seen people who call themselves Christians, who hate
judgment and love to praise people in their fleshly works to make those
people feel good about themselves.
They call evil good ... They jump forward to sing praises to that human. And so often what that human is reporting is really evil, not good.
Often God will give me a judgment message to expose an evil doer who is hiding himself behind some "good" sounding work.
That same person who calls evil good, will hate the judgment message which God has me deliver to the church.
Our flesh wants to praise other flesh.
But we must cause the Word of God to overcome our own flesh.
We do this by keeping specific scriptures before us day and night and by examining ourselves by those scriptures daily.
While
our flesh wants to approve flesh and compliment humans in that which
they are saying, God does not do this for God is Spirit and is truth.
Therefore we should restrain ourselves from opening doors with fleshly religious people: no phones calls to them, no emails, no luncheons, no visitation in any form ... avoid them.

Numbers 33
50 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
52 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
53 And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
54 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.
55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
And that is the way it is with us today. Jesus warned us that in the last days "many" would come saying HE, Jesus is Christ, and they would deceive many. (Matthew 24:4-5)
They try to dwell with us but when they speak they reveal things to us that trouble us. They are always a little off. We have to correct them over and over. They consume us and wear us out if we allow them to do so... If we continue communicating with such, ... they shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
Instead we see in Bible what we are to do with them:
Titus 3
10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
God is teaching me to do this scripture.
A woman brought an issue to my attention and I delivered that which God said to do and she did not do that.
I delivered the same message again to this woman.
I wanted to send her another .but I stopped and counted the number of admonitions I had given her on this same matter.
Twice I had warned her by scripture.
So I stopped myself from communicating with her any more and just "rejected her" walking away from her: No more communication of any kind with this woman.
Titus 3:11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
It's over.
II Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
If you want to live in peace, you have to put them away.
