Isaiah 5:24-25
Legacy Standard Bible
24 Therefore, (A)as a tongue of fire consumes stubble
And dry grass collapses into the flame,
So their (B)root will become (C)like rot and their blossom [a]blow away as dust;
For they have (D)rejected the law of Yahweh of hosts
And the word of the Holy One of Israel they have spurned.
25 On this account, the (E)anger of Yahweh has burned against His people,
And He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them down.
And the (F)mountains trembled, and their (G)corpses [b]lay like refuse in the middle of the streets.
(H)For all this His anger is not turned back,
But His (I)hand is still stretched out.

Isaiah 5:24-25
Common English Bible
24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire devours stubble,
and as hay shrivels in a flame,
so their roots will rot,
and their blossoms turn to dust,
for they have rejected the teaching of the Lord of heavenly forces,
and have despised the word of Israel’s holy one.
God’s powerful hand
25 This is why the Lord’s anger burned against the people:
he extended his hand to strike them,
the mountains trembled,
and their corpses lay in the middle of the streets like dung.
Even then God’s anger didn’t turn away;
God’s hand was still extended.
