International Standard Version
Isaiah 5:22-24
International Standard Version
22 “How terrible it will be for those who are heroes at drinking wine,
and champions in mixing strong drink,
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
and deprive the innocent of justice!”
The Effects of Divine Judgment
24 Therefore, as flames of fire devour straw,
as dry grass[a] collapses in flames,
so their root will be rotten,
and their blossom will blow away like dust,
because they have rejected the instruction[b] of the Lord of the Heavenly Armies,
and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
