Scripture: Isaiah 5:20-21
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And clever in their own sight!"
Commentary:
When an entire society is stirred up by anger and harsh circumstances, the lines between good and evil can become blurred in everyday life. You can feel that on the faces of people swept into the streets. The Scripture highlights the peril of a nation losing its moral bearings while still justifying its own wisdom, which plays out during times of unrest like this.

Prophetic Trend:
Sustained unrest in Iran signals a deepening crisis of authority and moral clarity, echoing biblically described upheavals among nations.
