World English Bible Public Domain
Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, And as the dry grass sinks 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 Yahweh of Hosts, And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

King James Version Public Domain
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 a tongue of fire devours stubble and dry grass sinks down a flame, their root will be like rottenness, and their blossom will go up like dust, for they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies, and they have despised the word of the Holy of Israel.
