Isaiah 9:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ ·Evil [Wickedness] is like a small fire.
    First, it burns ·weeds [briers] and thorns.
Next, it burns ·the larger bushes [thickets] in the forest,
    and they all go up in a column of smoke.
¹⁹ The Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] is angry,
    so the land will be burned.
The people are like fuel for the fire;
    no one will ·try to save [spare] his brother or sister.
²⁰ People will ·grab something [or slice (meat); or devour] on the right,
    but they will still be hungry.
They will ·eat something [devour] on the left,
    but they will not be ·filled [satisfied].
Then they will each turn and eat their own ·children [or arm].
