Isaiah 9:18-21

English Standard Version

¹⁸ For wickedness burns like ^(A)a fire;
    it consumes briers and thorns;
it kindles the thickets of the forest,
    and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
¹⁹ Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts
    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.
