Against Me in battle?
I would go through them,
I would burn them together.

23 Who (A)justify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away justice from the righteous man!

24 Therefore, (B)as the [a]fire devours the stubble,
And the flame consumes the chaff,
So (C)their root will be as rottenness,
And their blossom will ascend like dust;
Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 (D)Therefore the anger of the Lord is aroused against His people;
He has stretched out His hand against them
And stricken them,
And (E)the hills trembled.
Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets.

(F)For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.

  1. Isaiah 5:24 Lit. tongue of fire

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)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,(O)
    his hand is still upraised.(P)

23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

25 Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
