¹⁶ Therefore the Lord, the ^[a]Lord of hosts,
Will send leanness among his fat ones;
And under his glory
He will kindle a burning
Like the burning of a fire.
¹⁷ So the Light of Israel will be for a fire,
And his Holy One for a flame;
^(A)It will burn and devour
His thorns and his briers in one day.
¹⁸ And it will consume the glory of his forest and of ^(B)his 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.

³⁴ He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron,
And Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.
