16 Therefore the Lord, the [a]God of armies, will send a (A)wasting disease among his (B)stout warriors;
And under his (C)glory a fire will be kindled like a burning flame.
17 And the (D)Light of Israel will become a fire and [b]Israel’s (E)Holy One a flame,
And it will (F)burn and devour [c]his thorns and his briars in a single day.
18 And He will (G)destroy the glory of his forest and of his fruitful garden, both soul and body,
And it will be as when a sick person wastes away.
