NASB
"Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!"
— Isaiah 5:23, NASB
“Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!”
“that justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! ”
“who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!”
“They pronounce the guilty innocent for a payoff, they ignore the just cause of the innocent.”
“That justify the wicked for gifts, and take away the justice of the just from him.”
“Who for a reward give support to the cause of the sinner, and who take away the righteousness of the upright from him.”
“Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!”
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own sight!
Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine And valiant men in mixing strong drink,
Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!
Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes stubble And dry grass collapses into the flame, So their root will become like rot and their blossom blow away as dust; For they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
On this account the anger of the LORD has burned against His people, And He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them down. And the mountains quaked, and their corpses lay like refuse in the middle of the streets. For all this His anger is not spent, But His hand is still stretched out.
He will also lift up a standard to the distant nation, And will whistle for it from the ends of the earth; And behold, it will come with speed swiftly.
