16
Therefore the Lord God of Hosts
will inflict an emaciating disease
on the well-fed of Assyria,
and He will kindle a burning fire
under its glory.
17
Israel’s Light will become a fire,
and its Holy One, a flame.
In one day it will burn up Assyria’s thorns and thistles.
18
He will completely destroy
the glory of its forests and orchards
as a sickness consumes a person.
19
The remaining trees of its forest
will be so few in number
that a child could count them.
