Isaiah 9:20-21

International Standard Version

²⁰They cut meat on the right,
    but they’re still hungry,
and they devour also^[a] on the left,
    but they’re not satisfied;
        each devours the flesh of his own children.^[b]
²¹Manasseh devours Ephraim,
    and Ephraim devours Manasseh;
together they are against Judah.

“Yet^[c] for all this, his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is still stretched out, ready to strike.”^[d]
