Isaiah 5:22-24

Common English Bible

²² Doom to the wine-swigging warriors,
    mighty at mixing drinks,
²³     who spare the guilty for bribes,
    and rob the innocent of their rights.
²⁴ Therefore, as a tongue of fire devours stubble,
    and as hay shrivels in a flame,
        so their roots will rot,
        and their blossoms turn to dust,
    for they have rejected the teaching of the Lord of heavenly forces,
        and have despised the word of Israel’s holy one.
