²⁴ Therefore, as tongues of fire^(A) lick up straw^(B)
    and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay^(C)
    and their flowers blow away like dust;^(D)
for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty
    and spurned the word^(E) of the Holy One^(F) of Israel.

⁹ For these are rebellious^(A) people, deceitful^(B) children,
    children unwilling to listen to the Lord’s instruction.^(C)
