Isaiah 10:16–19

Therefore the Lord God of hosts

will send wasting sickness among his stout warriors,

and under his glory a burning will be kindled,

like the burning of fire.

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.

Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,

will send a wasting disease upon his sturdy warriors;

under his pomp a fire will be kindled

like a blazing flame.

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.

Therefore the Lord God of Armies

will inflict an emaciating disease

on the well-fed of Assyria,

and he will kindle a burning fire

under its glory.

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.

Therefore, the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,

will send a plague among Assyria’s proud troops,

and a flaming fire will consume its glory.

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!

Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, will send leanness among his sturdy warriors,

and a burning like the burning of fire will burn under his glory.

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.

Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts,

Send among his fat ones leanness;

And under his glory he shall kindle a burning

Like the burning of a fire.

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.
