Isaiah 9:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸ “For wickedness has burned like a blaze
    that consumes briers and thorns;
it sets thickets of the forest on fire,
    and skyward^[a] they swirl
        in a column of smoke.
¹⁹ From^[b] the wrath of the Lord of the Heavenly Armies
    the land has been scorched,
and the people have become like fuel for the fire;
        no one will spare his neighbor.
²⁰ They cut meat on the right,
    but they’re still hungry,
and they devour also^[c] on the left,
    but they’re not satisfied;
        each devours the flesh of his own children.^[d]
