17 So the Lord is not happy with the young men.
    He will not show mercy to the widows and orphans.
All the people are separated from God and are very evil.
    They all speak lies.

But the Lord is still angry.
    His hand is still raised to strike down the people.

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.
