Isaiah 9:17-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 For wickedness burns like fire,
devouring brier and thorn;
It kindles the forest thickets,
which go up in columns of smoke.(A)
18 At the wrath of the Lord of hosts the land quakes,
and the people are like fuel for fire;
no one spares his brother.(B)
19 They hack on the right, but remain hungry;
they devour on the left, but are not filled.
Each devours the flesh of the neighbor;
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)
