Isaiah 9:17-19
Complete Jewish Bible
17 (18) For wickedness burns like fire,
it devours briars and thorns;
it sets the forest underbrush ablaze,
with clouds of smoke whirling upward.
18 (19) The anger of Adonai-Tzva’ot
is burning up the land;
the people, too, are fuel for the fire —
no one spares even his brother.
19 (20) The one on the right grabs but stays hungry,
the one on the left eats but is unfilled.
Everyone devours his own arm’s flesh —

Isaiah 9:17-19
New International Version
17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men,(A)
nor will he pity(B) the fatherless and widows,
for everyone is ungodly(C) and wicked,(D)
every mouth speaks folly.(E)
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.(F)
18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire;(G)
it consumes briers and thorns,(H)
it sets the forest thickets ablaze,(I)
so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke.
19 By the wrath(J) of the Lord Almighty
the land will be scorched(K)
and the people will be fuel for the fire;(L)
they will not spare one another.(M)
