²² Ah! Heroes at drinking wine,
    and men of capability at mixing strong drink!
²³ Those who acquit the guilty because of a bribe
    and remove the justice of the innocent from him.
²⁴ Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,
    and dry grass sinks down in the flame,
so their root will become like the stench,
    and their blossom will go up like the dust.
For they have rejected the instruction of Yahweh of hosts,
    and they have treated the word of the holy one of Israel with contempt.
