Isaiah 5:22-24

International Children’s Bible

²² How terrible it will be for people who are famous for drinking wine.
    They are champions at mixing drinks.
²³ They take money to set the guilty free.
    But they don’t allow good people to be judged fairly.
²⁴ They will be destroyed
    just as fire burns straw or dry grass.
They will be destroyed
    like a plant whose roots rot
and whose flower dies and blows away like dust.
They have refused to obey the teachings of the Lord of heaven’s armies.
    They hated the message from the Holy God of Israel.
