^18 (A)For wickedness burns like a fire;
It consumes briars and thorns;
It also sets the thickets of the forest aflame
And they roll upward in a column of smoke.

¹⁹ By the ^(A)wrath of the Lord of armies the ^(B)land is burned,
And the ^(C)people are like fuel for the fire;
No ^(D)one spares his brother.
