^18 (A)For wickedness burns like a fire;
It consumes briars and thorns;
It even sets the thickets of the forest aflame,
And they roll upward in a column of smoke.
¹⁹ By the ^(B)fury of Yahweh of hosts the ^(C)land is burned up,
And the ^(D)people are like fuel for the fire;
No ^(E)man spares his brother.

^5 [a]With a ^(A)noise as of chariots
They leap on the tops of the mountains,
Like the ^[b]crackling of a ^(B)flame of fire consumes the stubble,
Like a mighty people arranged for battle.
