Isaiah 9:17-19

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁷ Therefore the Lord ^(A)is not glad in their choice men,
^(B)Nor does He have compassion on their ^[a]orphans or their widows;
For every one of them is ^(C)godless and an ^(D)evildoer,
And every ^(E)mouth is speaking wicked foolishness.
^(F)In spite of all this, His anger does not turn back,
And His hand is still stretched out.

^18 (G)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 ^(H)fury of Yahweh of hosts the ^(I)land is burned up,
And the ^(J)people are like fuel for the fire;
No ^(K)man spares his brother.
