21. How horrible it will be for thosewho think they are wiseand consider themselves to be clever.
22. How horrible it will be for thosewho are heroes at drinking wine,who are champions at mixing drinks,
23. who declare the guilty innocent for a bribe,who take away the rights of righteous people.
24. As flames burn up strawand dry grass shrivels in flames,so their roots will rot,and their blossoms will blow away like dust.They have rejected the teachings of the Lord of Armiesand have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
