19 The Lord rules over all.
    When he gets angry, he will burn up the land.
The people will burn in the fire.
    They will not spare one another.
20 People will eat up everything they can find on their right.
    But they’ll still be hungry.
They will eat everything they can find on their left.
    But they won’t be satisfied.
So they will eat the dead bodies of their children.
21     That’s what Manasseh’s people will do to Ephraim.
And that’s what Ephraim’s people will do to Manasseh.
    Together they will turn against Judah.

Even then, the Lord is still angry.
    His hand is still raised against them.

19 By the wrath(A) of the Lord Almighty
    the land will be scorched(B)
and the people will be fuel for the fire;(C)
    they will not spare one another.(D)
20 On the right they will devour,
    but still be hungry;(E)
on the left they will eat,(F)
    but not be satisfied.
Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring[a]:
21     Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh;(G)
    together they will turn against Judah.(H)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
    his hand is still upraised.(I)

  1. Isaiah 9:20 Or arm

19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.

20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:

21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
