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.
Isaiah 9:18-21
Christian Standard Bible
18 For wickedness burns like a fire(A)
that consumes thorns and briers
and kindles the forest thickets
so that they go up in a column of smoke.
19 The land is scorched
by the wrath of the Lord of Armies,
and the people are like fuel for the fire.(B)
No one has compassion on his brother.(C)
20 They carve meat on the right,
but they are still hungry;(D)
they have eaten on the left,
but they are still not satisfied.
Each one eats the flesh of his arm.(E)
21 Manasseh eats Ephraim,
and Ephraim, Manasseh;
together, both are against Judah.(F)
In all this, his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is still raised to strike.(G)
