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)

    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.
25 Therefore the Lord’s anger(L) burns against his people;
    his hand is raised and he strikes them down.

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,(Q)
    his hand is still upraised.(R)
