Isaiah 5:24-25
New International Version
24 Therefore, as tongues of fire(A) lick up straw(B)
and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay(C)
and their flowers blow away like dust;(D)
for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty
and spurned the word(E) of the Holy One(F) of Israel.
25 Therefore the Lord’s anger(G) burns against his people;
his hand is raised and he strikes them down.
The mountains shake,(H)
and the dead bodies(I) are like refuse(J) in the streets.(K)
Isaiah 5:24-25
International Standard Version
The Effects of Divine Judgment
24 Therefore, as flames of fire devour straw,
as dry grass[a] collapses in flames,
so their root will be rotten,
and their blossom will blow away like dust,
because they have rejected the instruction[b] of the Lord of the Heavenly Armies,
and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore[c] the anger of the Lord[d] burned against his people,
so he stretched out his hands[e] against them
and afflicted them.
The mountains quaked,
and their corpses were like refuse
in the middle of the streets.
Throughout all of this, his anger has not turned away,
and his hands are[f] still stretched out to attack.[g]
