Isaiah 5:24-25
Lexham English Bible
24 Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,
and dry grass sinks down in the flame,
so their root will become like the stench,
and their blossom will go up like the dust.
For they have rejected the instruction of Yahweh of hosts,
and they have treated the word of the holy one of Israel with contempt.
25 Therefore Yahweh’s wrath was kindled[a] against his people,
and he stretched out his hand against them[b] and struck them,[c]
and the mountains quaked,
and their corpses[d] were like refuse in the middle of the streets.
Yahweh’s Outstretched Hand
In all of this his anger has not turned back,
and still his hand is stretched out.

Christian Standard Bible
24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes straw
and as dry grass shrivels in the flame,
so their roots will become like something rotten
and their blossoms will blow away like dust,
for they have rejected(A)
the instruction of the Lord of Armies,
and they have despised
the word of the Holy One of Israel.(B)
25 Therefore the Lord’s anger burned(C) against his people.
He raised his hand against them and struck them;
the mountains quaked,(D)
and their corpses were like garbage in the streets.
In all this, his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is still raised to strike.(E)
