18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire;(A)
    it consumes briers and thorns,(B)
it sets the forest thickets ablaze,(C)
    so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke.
19 By the wrath(D) of the Lord Almighty
    the land will be scorched(E)
and the people will be fuel for the fire;(F)
    they will not spare one another.(G)
20 On the right they will devour,
    but still be hungry;(H)
on the left they will eat,(I)
    but not be satisfied.
Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring[a]:
21     Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh;(J)
    together they will turn against Judah.(K)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
    his hand is still upraised.(L)

  1. Isaiah 9:20 Or arm

18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.

19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.

20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:

21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
