Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 5:22
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
22, 23. Sixth Woe —against corrupt judges, who, "mighty" in drinking "wine" (a boast still not uncommon), if not in defending their country, obtain the means of self-indulgence by taking bribes ("reward"). The two verses are closely joined [MAURER]. mingle strong drink —not with water, but spices to make it intoxicating ( Proverbs 9:2 ; Proverbs 9:5 ; Song of Solomon 8:2 ). take away the righteousness —set aside the just claims of those having a righteous cause. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-24" class="com-number"
