“Behold, they are like stubble. The fire will burn them. They won’t deliver themselves from the power of the flame. It won’t be a coal to warm at or a fire to sit by.”

Reading this verse in context

This page shows one verse on its own, which is rarely how it was written. Isaiah 47 contains 15 verses, and the sentences either side usually decide what this one means. Read the whole chapter before you quote it.
