⁶ But evil men are all to be cast aside like thorns,^(A)
    which are not gathered with the hand.
⁷ Whoever touches thorns
    uses a tool of iron or the shaft of a spear;
    they are burned up where they lie.”

¹⁷ The Light of Israel will become a fire,^(A)
    their Holy One^(B) a flame;
in a single day it will burn and consume
    his thorns^(C) and his briers.^(D)

⁴     I am not angry.
If only there were briers and thorns confronting me!
    I would march against them in battle;
    I would set them all on fire.^(A)
