Isaiah 9:18

Context

9:18 For 1  evil burned like a fire, 2 

it consumed thorns and briers;

it burned up the thickets of the forest,

and they went up in smoke. 3 

1 tn Or “Indeed” (cf. NIV “Surely”). The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

2 sn Evil was uncontrollable and destructive, and so can be compared to a forest fire.

3 tn Heb “and they swirled [with] the rising of the smoke” (cf. NRSV).
