Israel’s Light will burst into a conflagration.
The Holy will explode into a firestorm,
And in one day burn to cinders
every last Assyrian thornbush.
God will destroy the splendid trees and lush gardens.
The Assyrian body and soul will waste away to nothing
like a disease-ridden invalid.
A child could count what’s left of the trees
on the fingers of his two hands.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
The light of Israel will become a fire,
and his Holy One a flame,
and it will burn and devour
his thorns and briers in one day.
The glory of his forest and of his fruitful land
the Lord will destroy, both soul and body,
and it will be as when a sick man wastes away.
The remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few
that a child can write them down.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
The Light of Israel will become a fire,
their Holy One a flame;
in a single day it will burn and consume
his thorns and his briers.
The splendor of his forests and fertile fields
it will completely destroy,
as when a sick person wastes away.
And the remaining trees of his forests will be so few
that a child could write them down.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Israel’s Light will become a fire,
and its Holy One, a flame.
In one day it will burn and consume Assyria’s thorns and thistles.
He will completely destroy
the glory of its forests and orchards
as a sickness consumes a person.
The remaining trees of its forest
will be so few in number
that a child could count them.

NLTNew Living Translation
The Lord, the Light of Israel, will be a fire;
the Holy One will be a flame.
He will devour the thorns and briers with fire,
burning up the enemy in a single night.
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.
Of all that glorious forest, only a few trees will survive—
so few that a child could count them!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
And the light of Israel will become like a fire,
and his holy one like a flame,
and it will burn and devour his thorns and briers in one day.
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.
And the rest of the trees of his forest will be a small number,
and a boy can write them down.

KJV 1900King James Version
And the light of Israel shall be for a fire,
And his Holy One for a flame:
And it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
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.
And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few,
That a child may write them.
