isaiah 5:22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

isaiah 5:22 Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine, And valiant men in mixing strong drink;

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 (Pr 9:2, 5; So 8:2).
take away the righteousness--set aside the just claims of those having a righteous cause.

isaiah 5:22 Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine, And valiant men in mixing strong drink;
