Isaiah 9:20 in context

  1. 18For wickedness burns like a fire.
    It devours the briers and thorns;
    yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest,
    and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
  2. 19Through Yahweh of Armies’ wrath, the land is burned up;
    and the people are the fuel for the fire.
    No one spares his brother.
  3. 20One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry;
    and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied.
    Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:
  4. 21Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah.
    For all this his anger is not turned away,
    but his hand is stretched out still.
