Isaiah 9:17-19
GOD’S WORD Translation
17 That is why the Lord isn’t happy with their young men,
nor will he show compassion for their orphans and widows.
Every one of them is a godless evildoer,
and every mouth speaks foolishness.
Even after all this, his anger will not disappear,
and he is still ready to use his power.
18 Surely wickedness burns like fire.
It burns up briars and thorns.
It sets the underbrush in the forest on fire,
and it whirls upward in clouds of smoke.
19 The land is scorched by the fury of the Lord of Armies,
and the people are like fuel for the fire.
No one shows concern for others:
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)
