Isaiah 9:18-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

^18 (A)For wickedness burns like a fire;
It consumes briars and thorns;
It even sets the thickets of the forest aflame
And they roll upward in a column of smoke.
¹⁹ By the ^(B)fury of the Lord of hosts the ^(C)land is burned up,
And the ^(D)people are like fuel for the fire;
No ^(E)man spares his brother.
^20 [a]They slice off what is on the right hand but still are ^(F)hungry,
And ^[b]they eat what is on the left hand but they are not satisfied;
Each of them eats the ^(G)flesh of his own arm.
