Isaiah 5:23-25
Complete Jewish Bible
Isaiah 5:23-25
Complete Jewish Bible
23 who acquit the guilty for bribes
but deny justice to the righteous!
24 Therefore, as fire licks up the stubble,
and the chaff is consumed in the flame;
so their root will rot,
and their flowers scatter like dust;
because they have rejected the Torah
of Adonai-Tzva’ot,
they have despised the word
of the Holy One of Isra’el.
25 This is why Adonai’s anger blazed up against his people,
why he stretched out his hand against them and struck them
[so hard that] the hills shook,
and corpses lay like trash in the streets.
Even after all this, his anger remains,
his upraised hand still threatens.
Isaiah 5:23-25
New International Version
Isaiah 5:23-25
New International Version
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,(A)
but deny justice(B) to the innocent.(C)
24 Therefore, as tongues of fire(D) lick up straw(E)
and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay(F)
and their flowers blow away like dust;(G)
for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty
and spurned the word(H) of the Holy One(I) of Israel.
25 Therefore the Lord’s anger(J) burns against his people;
his hand is raised and he strikes them down.
The mountains shake,(K)
and the dead bodies(L) are like refuse(M) in the streets.(N)
