Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.

The verse 19 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.

Rauben sie zur Rechten, so leiden sie Hunger; essen sie zur Linken, so werden sie nicht satt. Ein jeglicher frißt das Fleisch seines Arms:
Por la ira de Jehová de los ejércitos se oscureció la tierra, y será el pueblo como pábulo del fuego: el hombre no tendrá piedad de su hermano.
Par la colère de l'Eternel des armées le pays est embrasé, Et le peuple est comme la proie du feu; Nul n'épargne son frère.
Per l’indegnazione del Signor degli eserciti la terra scurerà, e il popolo sarà come l’esca del fuoco; l’uomo non risparmierà il suo fratello;
Por causa da ira do SENHOR dos Exércitos a terra se escurecerá, e será o povo como combustível para o fogo; ninguém poupará ao seu irmão.
因萬軍之耶和華的烈怒,地都燒遍了; 百姓成為柴火, 無人憐惜弟兄。
