Isaiah 9:18-20

International Children’s Bible

¹⁸ Evil is like a small fire.
    First, it burns weeds and thorns.
Next, it burns the larger bushes in the forest.
    They all go up in a column of smoke.
¹⁹ The Lord of heaven’s armies is angry.
    So the land will be burned.
All the people will be burned in that fire.
    No one will try to save his brother.
²⁰ People will grab something on the right,
    but they will still be hungry.
They will eat something on the left,
    but they will not be filled.
Then each person will turn and eat his own children.
