Isaiah 5:22-24
New American Standard Bible 1995
22 (A)Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine
And valiant men in mixing strong drink,
23 (B)Who justify the wicked for a bribe,
And (C)take away the [a]rights of the ones who are in the right!
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 [b]blow away as dust;
For they have (G)rejected the law of the Lord of hosts
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 5:22-24
New International Version
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,
so their roots will decay(H)
and their flowers blow away like dust;(I)
for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty
and spurned the word(J) of the Holy One(K) of Israel.
