19 By the (A)wrath of the Lord of armies the (B)land is burned,
And the (C)people are like fuel for the fire;
No (D)one spares his brother.
20 [a]They devour what is on the right hand but are still (E)hungry,
And [b]they eat what is on the left hand, but they are not satisfied;
Each of them eats the (F)flesh of his own arm.
21 Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh,
(G)And together they are against Judah.
(H)In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away
And His hand is still stretched out.

  2. Isaiah 9:20 Lit he eats

The [a]godly person has (A)perished from the land,
And there is no upright person among mankind.
All of them lie in wait for (B)bloodshed;
Each of them hunts the other with a (C)net.
As for evil, both hands do it (D)well.
The leader asks for a (E)bribe, also the judge,
And the great one speaks the capricious desire of his soul;
So they plot it together.
The best of them is like a (F)thorn bush,
The most upright like a (G)thorn hedge.
The day [b]when you post your watchmen,
Your (H)punishment is coming.
Then their (I)confusion will occur.
Do not (J)trust in a neighbor;
Do not have confidence in a close friend.
Guard [c]your lips
From her who lies [d]in your arms.
For (K)son disavows father,
Daughter rises up against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
(L)A person’s enemies are the people of his own household.
