18 The splendor of his forests and fertile fields

it will completely destroy,

as when a sick person wastes away.

18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field,

Both soul and body:

And they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.

18 The Lord will consume Assyria’s glory

like a fire consumes a forest in a fruitful land;

it will waste away like sick people in a plague.

18 And it will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field,

Both soul and body;

And they will be as when a sick man wastes away.

18 The fire burns away the great trees and rich farmlands,

destroying everything.

It will be like a sick person who wastes away.

18 And he will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and it shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.

18 and it shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body; and they shall be as when a sick man fainteth.

18 The majestic forest and the orchard 

will destroy both body and soul. 

They will be like a sick person wasting away. 

18 He will completely destroy

the glory of its forests and orchards

as a sickness consumes a person.

18 The glory of his forest and his fruitful land

the Lord will destroy, both soul and body,

and it will be as when an invalid wastes away.

18 And he will destroy the glory of his forest and orchard completely,

and it will be like the wasting away of one who is sick.

18 He will completely destroy the beauty

of their forests and rich farm lands.

The Assyrian army will be like a sick man

who becomes weaker and weaker.

18 And He will destroy the glory of his forest and of his fruitful garden, both soul and body,

And it will be as when a sick man wastes away.
