²⁴ Therefore, ^(A)as a tongue of fire consumes stubble,
And dry grass collapses in the flame,
So their ^(B)root will become ^(C)like rot, and their blossom ^[a]blow away like dust;
For they have ^(D)rejected the Law of the Lord of armies,
And discarded the word of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁴ Do not fear, you ^(A)worm Jacob, you people of Israel;
I will help you,” declares the Lord, “and ^(B)your ^[a]Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁶ You will ^(A)winnow them, and the wind will carry them away,
And the storm will scatter them;
But you will ^(B)rejoice in the Lord,
You will boast in the Holy One of Israel.
