Isaiah 5:21-30

Isaiah 5:21-30 CSB

Woe to those who consider themselves wise and judge themselves clever.  , Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, who are champions at pouring beer,  who acquit the guilty for a bribe  and deprive the innocent of justice. Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes straw and as dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will become like something rotten and their blossoms will blow away like dust, for they have rejected  the instruction of the  LORD of Armies, and they have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.  Therefore the LORD’s anger burned  against his people. He raised his hand against them and struck them; the mountains quaked,  and their corpses were like garbage in the streets. In all this, his anger has not turned away, and his hand is still raised to strike.  He raises a signal flag for the distant nations  and whistles  for them from the ends of the earth. Look — how quickly and swiftly they come! None of them grows weary or stumbles;  no one slumbers or sleeps. No belt is loose and no sandal strap broken. Their arrows are sharpened, and all their bows strung. Their horses’ hooves are like flint; their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind. Their roaring is like a lion’s;  they roar like young lions;  they growl and seize their prey and carry it off, and no one can rescue it. On that day they will roar over it, like the roaring of the sea. When one looks at the land, there will be darkness and distress; light will be obscured by clouds.
