The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 12 is found in chapter 9 of Isaiah. The second half of the chapter shows that judgment does not stop because the people refuse to acknowledge it. Ephraim and Samaria respond to defeat with pride, and internal violence intensifies. The repeated statement that Yahweh’s anger has not turned away functions as a judicial refrain and reveals the persistence of rebellion.

So kehrt sich das Volk auch nicht zu dem, der es schlägt, und fragen nicht nach dem HERRN Zebaoth.
De oriente los Siros, y los Filisteos de poniente; y con toda la boca se tragarán a Israel. Ni con todo eso ha cesado su furor, antes todavía su mano extendida.
a los arameos por el oriente y a los filisteos por el occidente; devorarán a Israel a boca llena. Con todo esto, su ira no se ha apartado, y su mano sigue extendida.
Les Syriens à l'orient, les Philistins à l'occident; Et ils dévoreront Israël à pleine bouche. Malgré tout cela, sa colère ne s'apaise point, Et sa main est encore étendue.
i Siri dall’Oriente, i Filistei dall’Occidente; ed essi divoreranno Israele a piena bocca. Per tutto ciò la sua ira non si racqueterà; anzi la sua mano sarà ancora stesa.
Pela frente virão os sírios, e por detrás os filisteus, e devorarão a Israel à boca escancarada; e nem com tudo isto cessou a sua ira, mas ainda está estendida a sua mão.
東有 亞蘭 人,西有 非利士 人; 他們張口吞吃 以色列 。 雖然如此,耶和華的怒氣並未轉消; 他的手依然伸出。
