“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.”
Isaiah 9:18 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 9:18
Wickedness is depicted as a consuming fire that burns briars, thorns, and forest thickets. The fire imagery suggests sin's self-destructive nature—wickedness ultimately consumes those who practice it. 'Kindleth' indicates how sin ignites easily and spreads rapidly. 'Mount up like the lifting up of smoke' portrays judgment as visible and inescapable. The fire represents both their sin and God's judgment—sin itself becomes its own punishment. This illustrates the Reformed doctrine of sin's intrinsic destructiveness.
