²² Who is it you have ridiculed and blasphemed?^(A)
    Against whom have you raised your voice
and lifted your eyes in pride?
    Against the Holy One^(B) of Israel!

¹⁹ to those who say, “Let God hurry;
    let him hasten^(A) his work
    so we may see it.
The plan of the Holy One^(B) of Israel—
    let it approach, let it come into view,
    so we may know it.”^(C)

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.
