21. Oy to those who are wise in their own eyes, and clever in their own sight!
22. Oy to those who are heroes at drinking wine, and valiant at mixing drinks,
23. who justify the wicked for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of justice!
24. Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes straw, and as chaff collapses into the flame, so their root will be like rot, and their blossom will go up like dust. For they have rejected the Torah of Adonai–Tzva’ot, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25. Therefore Adonai’s anger is kindled against His people. When He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them, the hills trembled, and their carcasses were like refuse in the streets. For all this His anger is not turned away, yet His hand is still outstretched.
