24 As tongues of fire devour the stubble,
    and as dry grass shrivels in the flames,
so their root will decay
    and their blossoms will be scattered like dust;
for they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts
    and scorned the word of the Holy One of Israel.

24 Therefore, (A)as the [a]fire devours the stubble,
And the flame consumes the chaff,
So (B)their root will be as rottenness,
And their blossom will ascend like dust;
Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
