22 (A)Woe to those who are mighty men in drinking wine
And valiant men in mixing strong drink,
23 (B)Who [a]declare the wicked righteous for a bribe,
And (C)remove the [b]righteous standing of the ones who are [c]righteous!

24 Therefore, (D)as a tongue of fire consumes stubble
And dry grass collapses into the flame,
So their (E)root will become (F)like rot and their blossom [d]blow away as dust;
For they have (G)rejected the law of Yahweh of hosts
And the word of the Holy One of Israel they have spurned.
