Woe to the Corrupt Judges
Isaiah 5:23
Showing verse 23 with surrounding context.
20
Woe vnto them that speake good of euill, and euill of good, which put darkenes for light, and light for darkenes, that put bitter for sweete, and sweete for sowre.
21
Woe vnto them that are wise in their owne eyes, and prudent in their owne sight.
22
Wo vnto them that are mightie to drinke wine, and to them that are strong to powre in strong drinke:
23
Which iustifie the wicked for a rewarde, and take away the righteousnesse of the righteous from him.
24
Therefore as the flame of fire deuoureth the stubble, and as the chaffe is cosumed of the flame: so their roote shalbe as rottennesse, and their bud shall rise vp like dust, because they haue cast off the Lawe of the Lord of hostes, and contemned the word of the holy one of Israel.
25
Therefore is the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and hee hath stretched out his hand vpon them, and hath smitten them that the mountaines did tremble: and their carkases were torne in the middes of the streetes, and for all this his wrath was not turned away, but his hande was stretched out still.
26
And he will lift vp a signe vnto the nations a farre, and wil hisse vnto them from the ende of the earth: and beholde, they shall come hastily with speede.
