Isaiah 5:22
Compare all
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are awise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight! 
22 Woe to men mighty at drinking wine,
Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,
23 Who ajustify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away justice from the righteous man! 
24 Therefore, aas the fire devours the stubble,
And the flame consumes the chaff,
So btheir root will be as rottenness,
And their blossom will ascend like dust;
Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 
25 aTherefore the anger of the Lord is aroused against His people;
He has stretched out His hand against them
And stricken them,
And bthe hills trembled.
Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets.
cFor all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.
