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.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Foreign Invasion Predicted
24 Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble
and as dry grass sinks down in the flame,
so their root will become rotten,
and their blossom go up like dust,
for they have rejected the instruction of the Lord of hosts
and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.(A)
25 Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people,
and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them;
the mountains quaked,
and their corpses were like refuse
in the streets.
For all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.(B)
