For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. Quote for DiscussionThe third evil to visit Israel is the wickedness which is likened to a forest fire. The fire of wickedness will sweep on, using the people for fuel. All will be consumed in wickedness. This wickedness is so severe that brothers will “consume” brothers, members of their own families, and even themselves—and will still not be satisfied.Monte S. Nyman, Great Are the Words of Isaiah [salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1980], 69 Quote
