22 (A)Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine,
And valiant men in mixing intoxicating drink,
23 (B)Who declare the wicked innocent 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 in the flame,
So their (E)root will become (F)like rot, and their blossom [b]blow away like dust;
For they have (G)rejected the Law of the Lord of armies,
And discarded the word of the Holy One of Israel.
