18. Surely wickedness burns like a fire;it consumes briers and thorns,it sets the forest thickets ablaze,so that it rolls upwards in a column of smoke.
19. By the wrath of the Lord Almightythe land will be scorchedand the people will be fuel for the fire;they will not spare one another.
20. On the right they will devour,but still be hungry;on the left they will eat,but not be satisfied.Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring:
21. Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh;together they will turn against Judah.Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,his hand is still upraised.
