For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.

The verse 18 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.

Im Zorn des HERRN Zebaoth ist das Land verfinstert, daß das Volk ist wie Speise des Feuers; keiner schont des andern.
Porque la maldad se encendió como fuego, cardos y espinas devorará; y encenderase en lo espeso de la breña, y serán alzados como humo.
Porque la maldad arde como fuego: consume cardos y espinos y prende la espesura del bosque, que se levanta en columnas de humo.
Car la méchanceté consume comme un feu, Qui dévore ronces et épines; Il embrase l'épaisseur de la forêt, D'où s'élèvent des colonnes de fumée.
Perciocchè l’empietà arderà come un fuoco, divorerà le vepri ed i pruni, e si accenderà negli alberi più folti del bosco, e quelli se ne andranno a viluppi, come si alza il fumo.
Porque a impiedade lavra como um fogo, ela devora as sarças e os espinheiros; e ela se ateará no emaranhado da floresta; e subirão em espessas nuvens de fumaça.
邪惡如火焚燒, 吞滅荊棘和蒺藜, 在稠密的樹林中點燃, 成為煙柱,旋轉上騰。
