Isaiah 9:18-21
World English Bible
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.

it consumes briers and thorns;
it kindles the thickets of the forest,
and they roll upward in a column of smoke.

the land is scorched,
and (B)the people are like fuel for the fire;
(C)no one spares another.
20 (D)They slice meat on the right, but are still hungry,
and they devour on the left, but are not satisfied;
(E)each devours the flesh of his own arm,
21 Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim devours Manasseh;
together they are (F)against Judah.
(G)For all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.
