Isaiah 5:21-23
Isaiah 5:21-23 The Message (MSG)
Doom to you who think you’re so smart, who hold such a high opinion of yourselves! All you’re good at is drinking—champion boozers who collect trophies from drinking bouts And then line your pockets with bribes from the guilty while you violate the rights of the innocent.
Isaiah 5:21-23 King James Version (KJV)
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
Isaiah 5:21-23 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
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!
Isaiah 5:21-23 New Century Version (NCV)
How terrible it will be for people who think they are wise and believe they are clever. How terrible it will be for people who are famous for drinking wine and are champions at mixing drinks. They take money to set the guilty free and don’t allow good people to be judged fairly.
Isaiah 5:21-23 American Standard Version (ASV)
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink; that justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
Isaiah 5:21-23 New International Version (NIV)
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. 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.
Isaiah 5:21-23 New King James Version (NKJV)

Woe (judgment is coming) to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever and shrewd in their own sight!

Isaiah 5:21-23 New Living Translation (NLT)
What sorrow for those who are wise in their own eyes and think themselves so clever. What sorrow for those who are heroes at drinking wine and boast about all the alcohol they can hold. They take bribes to let the wicked go free, and they punish the innocent.
Isaiah 5:21-23 The Passion Translation (TPT)
