Isaiah 9:17-20

9:17

Therefore the Lord
<0136>

shall have no joy
<08055> (8799)

in their young men
<0970>_,

neither shall have mercy
<07355> (8762)

on their fatherless
<03490>

and widows
<0490>_:

for every one [is] an hypocrite
<02611>

and an evildoer
<07489> (8688)_,

and every mouth
<06310>

speaketh
<01696> (8802)

folly
<05039>_.

For all this his anger
<0639>

is not turned away
<07725> (8804)_,

but his hand
<03027>

[is] stretched out still
<05186> (8803)_.

{folly: or, villany}

9:18

For wickedness
<07564>

burneth
<01197> (8804)

as the fire
<0784>_:

it shall devour
<0398> (8799)

the briers
<08068>

and thorns
<07898>_,

and shall kindle
<03341> (8799)

in the thickets
<05442>

of the forest
<03293>_,

and they shall mount up
<055> (8691)

[like] the lifting up
<01348>

of smoke
<06227>_.

9:19

Through the wrath
<05678>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

is the land
<0776>

darkened
<06272> (8738)_,

and the people
<05971>

shall be as the fuel
<03980>

of the fire
<0784>_:

no man
<0376>

shall spare
<02550> (8799)

his brother
<0251>_.

{fuel: Heb. meat}

9:20

And he shall snatch
<01504> (8799)

on the right hand
<03225>_,

and be hungry
<07457>_;

and he shall eat
<0398> (8799)

on the left hand
<08040>_,

and they shall not be satisfied
<07646> (8804)_:

they shall eat
<0398> (8799)

every man
<0376>

the flesh
<01320>

of his own arm
<02220>_:

{snatch: Heb cut}
