Isaiah 5:24-25
New American Standard Bible
24 Therefore, (A)as a tongue of fire consumes stubble,
And dry grass collapses in the flame,
So their (B)root will become (C)like rot, and their blossom [a]blow away like dust;
For they have (D)rejected the Law of the Lord of armies,
And discarded the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 For this reason the (E)anger of the Lord has burned against His people,
And He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them.
And the (F)mountains quaked, and their (G)corpses [b]lay like refuse in the middle of the streets.
(H)Despite all this, His anger [c]is not spent,
But His (I)hand is still stretched out.

Isaiah 5:24-25
Holman 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 Hosts,
and they have despised
the word of the Holy One of Israel.(B)
25 Therefore the Lord’s anger burns(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 is not removed,
and His hand is still raised to strike.(E)
