Isaiah 10:17–23

17 So the Light of Israel will be for a fire,

And his Holy One for a flame;

tIt will burn and devour

His thorns and his briers in one day.

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

Both soul and body;

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

19 Then the rest of the trees of his forest

Will be so few in number

That a child may write them.

The Returning Remnant of Israel

20 And it shall come to pass in that day

That the remnant of Israel,

And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob,

vWill never again depend on him who 5defeated them,

But will depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

21 The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob,

To the wMighty God.

22 xFor though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea,

yA remnant of them will return;

The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

23 zFor the Lord God of hosts

Will make a determined end

In the midst of all the land.
