Isaiah 10:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ So the Master, the Lord of heaven’s armies,
    will send a terrible disease against Assyria’s soldiers.
The strength of Assyria will be burned up.
    It will be like a fire burning until everything is gone.
¹⁷ God, the Light of Israel, will be like a fire.
    The Holy One will be like a flame.
He will be like a fire
    that suddenly burns the weeds and thorns.
¹⁸ The fire burns away the great trees and rich farmlands.
    It will destroy everything.
    Things will be like a sick man who wastes away.
