Isaiah 5:24-25

Context

5:24 Therefore, as flaming fire 1  devours straw,

and dry grass disintegrates in the flames,

so their root will rot,

and their flower will blow away like dust. 2 

For they have rejected the law of the Lord who commands armies,

they have spurned the commands 3  of the Holy One of Israel. 4 

5:25 So the Lord is furious 5  with his people;

he lifts 6  his hand and strikes them.

The mountains shake,

and corpses lie like manure 7  in the middle of the streets.

Despite all this, his anger does not subside,

and his hand is ready to strike again. 8
