Isaiah 5:24-30 Therefore as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness… The judgment here foretold was to prove universal; for what remains of a tree when its roots and branches are destroyed! (R. Macculloch.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
