Isaiah 10:16-18
King James Version
16 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.
17 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;
18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.

New King James Version
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.
