'Woe to those who acquit the guilty for a bribe'

Join me each weekday for a short thought from the Bible to help us listen to what God is saying right now.These are today’s verses:“Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks,who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent.Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust;for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel.Therefore the Lord’s anger burns against his people; his hand is raised and he strikes them down.The mountains shake, and the dead bodies are like refuse in the streets.Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.”Isaiah 5:22-25The Bible Uncancelled is a reader-supported publication.
