71 Therefore the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
72 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind: and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand stretched out still.
73 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the Lord of hosts.
74 Therefore, will the Lord cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush in one day.
75 The ancient, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
76 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
77 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one of them is a hypocrite and an evil doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand stretched out still.
78 For wickedness burneth as the fire; it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forests, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
79 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire; no man shall spare his brother.
80 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:
81 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand stretched out still.
