Isaiah 9:18-20
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
18 For wickedness burns like a fire,
it consumes briers and thorns;
it kindles the thickets of the forest,
and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts
the land is burned,
and the people are like fuel for the fire;
no man spares his brother.
20 They snatch on the right, but are still hungry,
and they devour on the left, but are not satisfied;
each devours his neighbor’s[a] flesh,

It shall devour the briers and thorns,
And kindle in the thickets of the forest;
They shall mount up like rising smoke.
19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts
(B)The land is burned up,
And the people shall be as fuel for the fire;
(C)No man shall spare his brother.
20 And he shall [a]snatch on the right hand
And be hungry;
He shall devour on the left hand
(D)And not be satisfied;
(E)Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm.
