Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
Woe unto (them that are) mighty to drink wine ... Which justify the wicked for reward. 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. And men of strength to mingle strong drink - not with water, but spices, to make it intoxicating (Proverbs 9:2; Proverbs 9:5; Song of Solomon 8:2).
Verse 23. Which ... take away the righteousness of the righteous from him - set aside the just claims of those having a righteous cause.
