Isaiah 9:18-20
Complete Jewish Bible
18 (19) The anger of Adonai-Tzva’ot
is burning up the land;
the people, too, are fuel for the fire —
no one spares even his brother.
19 (20) The one on the right grabs but stays hungry,
the one on the left eats but is unfilled.
Everyone devours his own arm’s flesh —
20 (21) M’nasheh devours Efrayim;
and Efrayim, M’nasheh;
while together they oppose Y’hudah.
Even after all this, his anger remains,
his upraised hand still threatens.
Isaiah 9:18-20
New International Version
18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire;(A)
it consumes briers and thorns,(B)
it sets the forest thickets ablaze,(C)
so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke.
19 By the wrath(D) of the Lord Almighty
the land will be scorched(E)
and the people will be fuel for the fire;(F)
they will not spare one another.(G)
20 On the right they will devour,
but still be hungry;(H)
on the left they will eat,(I)
but not be satisfied.
Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring[a]:
