King James Version (KJV)

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

For this cause, as the waste of the grain is burned up by tongues of fire, and as the dry grass goes down before the flame, so their root will be like the dry stems of grain, and their flower will go up in dust: because they have gone against the law of the Lord of armies, and have given no honour to the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Reina-Valera 1909 (RVR 1909)

Por tanto, como la lengua del fuego consume las aristas, y la llama devora la paja, así será su raíz como pudrimiento, y su flor se desvanecerá como polvo: porque desecharon la ley de Jehová de los ejércitos, y abominaron la palabra del Santo de Israel.

Por tanto Dios se encargará de ellos y los dará al fuego. Desaparecerán como la paja en las llamas. Las raíces se les pudrirán y las flores se les marchitarán, porque han desechado las leyes de Dios y han menospreciado la Palabra del Santo de Israel.
