Nothing remains, and you crouch
Possible meanings are 1) "None of your wealth remains as you crouch" or 2) "You can do nothing else but crouch."

In all these things, his anger does not subside
"Even though all these things have happened, he is still angry." See how you translated this in Isaiah 5:25.
his hand is still stretched out
Isaiah speaks as if Yahweh were a person about to hit another person with his fist. This is a metaphor for Yahweh punishing Israel. See how you translated this in Isaiah 5:25. AT: "he will still be ready to punish them" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
