Isaiah 5:23

23 who spare the guilty for bribes, and rob the innocent of their rights.

Isaiah 5:23 In-Context

21 Doom to those who consider themselves wise, who think of themselves as clever.
22 Doom to the wine-swigging warriors, mighty at mixing drinks,
23 who spare the guilty for bribes, and rob the innocent of their rights.
24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire devours stubble, and as hay shrivels in a flame, so their roots will rot, and their blossoms turn to dust, for they have rejected the teaching of the LORD of heavenly forces, and have despised the word of Israel's holy one.
25 This is why the LORD's anger burned against the people: he extended his hand to strike them, the mountains trembled, and their corpses lay in the middle of the streets like dung. Even then God's anger didn't turn away; God's hand was still extended.
