18 For wickedness burns like a fire.
    It devours the briers and thorns;
    yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest,
    and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
19 Through Yahweh of Armies’ wrath, the land is burned up;
    and the people are the fuel for the fire.
    No one spares his brother.
20 One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry;
    and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied.
Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:
21     Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah.
For all this his anger is not turned away,
    but his hand is stretched out still.

18 For wickedness burneth as the fire; it devoureth the briers and thorns; yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke. 19 Through the wrath of Jehovah of hosts is the land [a]burnt up; and the people are as the fuel of fire: no man spareth his brother. 20 And one shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm: 21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
