Isaiah 5:24-26

Contemporary English Version

²⁴ You will go up in flames like straw and hay! You have rejected the teaching of the holy Lord God All-Powerful of Israel. Now your roots will rot, and your blossoms will turn to dust.

²⁵ You are the Lord's people, but you made him terribly angry, and he struck you with his mighty arm. Mountains shook, and dead bodies covered the streets like garbage. The Lord is still angry, and he is ready to strike you again.^[a]

Foreign Nations Will Attack

²⁶ The Lord has signaled for the foreign nations to come and attack you. He has already whistled, and they are coming as fast as they can.
