22 Woe to men mighty at drinking wine,
Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,
23 Who (A)justify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away justice from the righteous man!

24 Therefore, (B)as the [a]fire devours the stubble,
And the flame consumes the chaff,
So (C)their root will be as rottenness,
And their blossom will ascend like dust;
Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
