²⁴ Therefore, as tongues of fire^(A) lick up straw^(B)
    and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay^(C)
    and their flowers blow away like dust;^(D)
for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty
    and spurned the word^(E) of the Holy One^(F) of Israel.

¹⁴ Surely they are like stubble;^(A)
    the fire^(B) will burn them up.
They cannot even save themselves
    from the power of the flame.^(C)
These are not coals for warmth;
    this is not a fire to sit by.

¹⁸ Jacob will be a fire
    and Joseph a flame;
Esau will be stubble,
    and they will set him on fire^(A) and destroy^(B) him.
There will be no survivors^(C)
    from Esau.”
The Lord has spoken.

¹⁰ They will be entangled among thorns^(A)
    and drunk^(B) from their wine;
    they will be consumed like dry stubble.^[a](C)
