Isaiah 9:17-19
International Standard Version
Isaiah 9:17-19
International Standard Version
17 Therefore the Lord does not have pity on[a] their young men,
and has no compassion on their orphans[b] and widows,
because each of them was godless and an evildoer,
and every mouth spoke folly.
“Yet[c] for all this, his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is still stretched out, ready to strike.[d]
18 “For wickedness has burned like a blaze
that consumes briers and thorns;
it sets thickets of the forest on fire,
and skyward[e] they swirl
in a column of smoke.
19 From[f] the wrath of the Lord of the Heavenly Armies
the land has been scorched,
and the people have become like fuel for the fire;
no one will spare his neighbor.
