‏ Isaiah 5:24

24 Therefore, as flaming fire ^{▼▼tn Heb “a tongue of fire” (so NASB), referring to a tongue-shaped flame.} devours straw
and dry grass disintegrates in the flames,
so their root will rot,
and their flower will blow away like dust. ^{▼▼sn They are compared to a flowering plant that withers quickly in a hot, arid climate.}
For they have rejected the law of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
they have spurned the commands ^{▼▼tn Heb “the word.”} of the Holy One of Israel. ^{▼▼sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.}
