22 Woe to you that are mighty to drink wine, and stout men at drunkenness.

24 Therefore as the tongue of the fire devoureth the stubble, and the heat of the dame consumeth it: so shall their root be as ashes, and their bud shall go up as dust: for they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and have blasphemed the word of the Holy One of Israel.

22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine(A)
    and champions at mixing drinks,(B)
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,(C)
    but deny justice(D) to the innocent.(E)
24 Therefore, as tongues of fire(F) lick up straw(G)
    and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,

    and spurned the word(J) of the Holy One(K) of Israel.
