Isaiah 5:23-25
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
23 That justify the wicked for gifts, and take away the justice of the just from him.
24 Therefore as the tongue of the fire devoureth the stubble, and the heat of the dame consumeth it: so shall their root be as ashes, and their bud shall go up as dust: for they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and have blasphemed the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore is the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched out his hand upon them, and struck them: and the mountains were troubled, and their carcasses became as dung in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

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)
