Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes the straw, and as dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will decay and their blossoms will blow away like dust; for they have rejected the instruction of the LORD of Hosts and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
World English Bible (WEB)
Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Strong's King James
Therefore as the fire{H784} devoureth{H398}{(H8800)} the stubble{H7179}, and the flame{H3956}{H3852} consumeth{H7503}{(H8799)} the chaff{H2842}, so their root{H8328} shall be as rottenness{H4716}, and their blossom{H6525} shall go up{H5927}{(H8799)} as dust{H80}: because they have cast away{H3988}{(H8804)} the law{H8451} of the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}, and despised{H5006}{(H8765)} the word{H565} of the Holy One{H6918} of Israel{H3478}.

Young's Literal Translation
Therefore, as a tongue of fire devoureth stubble, And flaming hay falleth, Their root is as muck, And their flower as dust goeth up. Because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of Hosts, And the saying of the Holy One of Israel despised.
