19 By the (A)fury of the Lord of hosts the (B)land is burned up,
And the (C)people are like fuel for the fire;
No (D)man spares his brother.
20 [a]They slice off what is on the right hand but still are (E)hungry,
And [b]they eat what is on the left hand but they are not satisfied;
Each of them eats the (F)flesh of his own arm.
21 Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh,
(G)And together they are against Judah.
(H)In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away
And His hand is still stretched out.

  2. Isaiah 9:20 Lit he eats

The [a]godly person has (A)perished from the land,
And there is no upright person among men.
All of them lie in wait for (B)bloodshed;
Each of them hunts the other with a (C)net.
Concerning evil, both hands do it (D)well.
The prince asks, also the judge, for a (E)bribe,
And a great man speaks the desire of his soul;
So they weave it together.
The best of them is like a (F)briar,
The most upright like a (G)thorn hedge.
The day when you post your watchmen,
Your (H)punishment will come.
Then their (I)confusion will occur.
Do not (J)trust in a neighbor;
Do not have confidence in a friend.
From her who lies in your bosom
Guard [b]your lips.
For (K)son treats father contemptuously,
Daughter rises up against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
(L)A man’s enemies are the men of his own household.

13 It will come about in that day that a great panic from the Lord will [a]fall on them; and they will (A)seize one another’s hand, and the hand of one will [b]be lifted against the hand of another.
