Isaiah 9:19–21 — The New International Version (NIV)

19 By the wrath of the Lord Almighty

the land will be scorched

and the people will be fuel for the fire;

they will not spare one another.

20 On the right they will devour,

but still be hungry;

on the left they will eat,

but not be satisfied.

Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring:

21 Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh;

together they will turn against Judah.

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,

his hand is still upraised.

and they devour on the left, but are not satisfied;

together they are against Judah.

For all this his anger has not turned away,

and his hand is stretched out still.

And they together shall be against Judah.

For all this his anger is not turned away,

But his hand is stretched out still.
