17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men,nor shall He have mercy on their fatherless and widows;for every one of them is a hypocrite and an evildoer,and every mouth speaks folly. For all this His anger is not turned away,and His hand is stretched out still.
18 For wickedness burns as a fire;it shall devour the briers and thorns,and shall ignite in the thickets of the forest,and they shall mount up like rising smoke.
19 Through the wrath of the Lord of Hostsis the land burned up,and the people shall be as fuel for the fire;no man shall spare his brother.
20 They shall snatch on the right hand,but still be hungry;and they shall eat on the left hand,and shall not be satisfied;every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm.
21 Manasseh consumes Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh,and they together shall be against Judah. For all this His anger is not turned away,and His hand is stretched out still.
