21. Hoy unto them that are chachamim in their own eyes, and clever in their own sight!
22. Hoy unto them that are Gibborim to drink yayin, and anshei chayil to mix shekhar;
23. Which justify the rasha for shochad (bribe), and take away the tzidkat tzaddikim from him!
24. Therefore as the eish licketh up the stubble, and the flame consumeth the dry grass, so their shoresh shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have cast away the Torat Hashem Tzva'os, and spurned the word of the Kadosh Yisroel.
25. Therefore is the Af Hashem kindled against His people, and He hath stretched forth His yad against them, and hath struck them down; and the mountains did tremble, and their nevilah were like refuse in the streets. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His yad is stretched out still.
26. And He will lift up a banner to the distant Goyim, and will whistle for him at the ketzeh ha'aretz; hinei, they shall come with speed swiftly;
