Isaiah 5:23-25
Expanded Bible
23 They take ·money [a bribe] to ·set the guilty free [acquit the wicked]
and ·don’t allow good people to be judged fairly [deny justice/righteousness to the innocent/righteous].
24 [L Therefore] They will be destroyed
just as ·fire [L tongues of fire] ·burns [L devours] straw
and dry grass ·is consumed by [L sinks in the] flames.
They will be destroyed
like a plant whose roots rot
and whose flower dies and blows away like dust.
They have ·refused to obey [rejected; spurned] the ·teachings [law; L Torah] of the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts]
and have ·hated [despised] the message from the Holy One of Israel [1:4].
25 So the ·Lord has become very angry with [L Lord’s anger burns against] his people,
and he ·has raised [extends; stretches out] his hand to ·punish [strike] them.
Even the mountains ·are frightened [shake; tremble].
·Dead bodies [Corpses] lie in the streets like garbage.
·But the Lord is still angry [L In all this, his anger is not turned away];
his hand is still ·raised [extended; stretched out] to strike down the people.

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)
