Isaiah 5:24

Next

Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, [so] their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Therefore as the fire {H784} devoureth {H398} the stubble {H7179}, and the flame {H3956}{H3852} consumeth {H7503} the chaff {H2842}, so their root {H8328} shall be as rottenness {H4716}, and their blossom {H6525} shall go up {H5927} as dust {H80}: because they have cast away {H3988} the law {H8451} of the LORD {H3068} of hosts {H6635}, and despised {H5006} the word {H565} of the Holy One {H6918} of Israel {H3478}.

Therefore, as fire licks up the stubble, and the chaff is consumed in the flame; so their root will rot, and their flowers scatter like dust; because they have rejected the Torah of ADONAI-Tzva'ot, they have despised the word of the Holy One of Isra'el.

Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes the straw, and as dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will decay and their blossoms will blow away like dust; for they have rejected the instruction of the LORD of Hosts and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Therefore as the tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and as the dry grass sinketh down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
