Isaiah 5:23-25

Tree of Life Version

²³ who justify the wicked for a bribe,
    and deprive the innocent of justice!
²⁴ Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes straw,
    and as chaff collapses into the flame,
so their root will be like rot,
    and their blossom will go up like dust.
For they have rejected the Torah of Adonai–Tzva’ot,
    and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
²⁵ Therefore Adonai’s anger is kindled
    against His people.
When He has stretched out His hand
    against them and struck them,
the hills trembled, and their carcasses
    were like refuse in the streets.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
    yet His hand is still outstretched.
