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)
