²⁴ Therefore, ^(A)as the ^[a]fire devours the stubble,
And the flame consumes the chaff,
So ^(B)their root will be as rottenness,
And their blossom will ascend like dust;
Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

⁶ Those who come He shall cause ^(A)to take root in Jacob;
Israel shall blossom and bud,
And fill the face of the world with fruit.

⁹ “Yet it was I who destroyed the ^(A)Amorite before them,
Whose height was like the ^(B)height of the cedars,
And he was as strong as the oaks;
Yet I ^(C)destroyed his fruit above
And his roots beneath.
