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 "law" of Jehovah was given by Moses and embodied in institutions and a code; the "word" was that exposition of the meaning and life of these which the prophets were, from time to time, declaring in the ears of the people. The nation had cast away this law and despised this word. (Sir E. Strachey, Bart.) 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. |
