Isaiah 5:23-25

EasyEnglish Bible

²³ If people like that receive a bribe, they will not say that wicked people are guilty. They also refuse to say that righteous people are not guilty.

²⁴ Because of that, they will come to a bad end. It will be for them like a hot fire that destroys dry grass. Their roots will die and their flowers will blow away like dust. They have refused to obey the laws of the Lord Almighty. They have not listened to the message that the holy God of Israel has taught them.

²⁵ So the Lord has become angry with his people. He is ready to punish them. He has lifted up his hand, so that the mountains shake. Dead bodies of people are lying all over the streets. But that is not enough! The Lord is still angry with them. His hand is ready to punish them even more.
