Isaiah 5:24 in Context — Isaiah 5

22 ¡Ay de los que son valientes para beber vino, y hombres fuertes para mezclar bebida;

23 Los que dan por justo al impío por cohechos, y al justo quitan su justicia!

24 Por tanto, como la lengua del fuego consume las aristas, y la llama devora la paja, así será su raíz como pudrimiento, y su flor se desvanecerá como polvo: porque desecharon la ley de Jehová de los ejércitos, y abominaron la palabra del Santo de Israel.

25 Por esta causa se encendió el furor de Jehová contra su pueblo, y extendió contra él su mano, é hirióle; y se estremecieron los montes, y sus cadáveres fueron arrojados en medio de las calles. Con todo esto no ha cesado su furor, antes está su mano todavía extendida.

26 Y alzará pendón á gentes de lejos, y silbará al [que está] en el cabo de la tierra; y he aquí que vendrá pronto y velozmente.
