Yahweh's Anger Against Arrogance

18 For wickedness burns as the fire. It devours the briers and thorns. Yea, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke. 19 Through the wrath of LORD of hosts is the land burnt up, and the people are as the fuel of fire; no man spares his brother. 20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry. And he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied. They shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm--
