And dry grass collapses in the flame,

For they have (D)rejected the Law of the Lord of armies,
And discarded the word of the Holy One of Israel.

for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty
    and spurned the word(E) of the Holy One(F) of Israel.

And the house of Joseph a flame;
But the house of Esau will be like stubble.
