Isaiah 9:18 - The Message

Their wicked lives raged like an out-of-control fire,
   the kind that burns everything in its path—
Trees and bushes, weeds and grasses—
   filling the skies with smoke.
God-of-the-Angel-Armies answered fire with fire,
   set the whole country on fire,
Turned the people into consuming fires,
   consuming one another in their lusts—
Appetites insatiable, stuffing and gorging
   themselves left and right with people and things.
But still they starved. Not even their children
   were safe from their rapacious hunger.
Manasseh ate Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh,
   and then the two ganged up against Judah.
And after that, he was still angry,
   his fist still raised, ready to hit them again.
