Isaiah 10:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ Therefore, the Lord God of heavenly forces
    will make the well-fed people waste away;
    and among his officials,
    a blaze will burn like scorching fire.
¹⁷ The light of Israel will become a fire,
    its holy one a flame,
    which will burn and devour
    its thorns and thistles
    in a single day.
¹⁸ Its abundant forest and farmland
    will be finished completely,^[a]
    as when a sick person wastes away;
