16 Therefore, the Lord God[a] of the Heavenly Armies will send a wasting disease
    among Assyria’s[b] sturdy warriors,
and under its glory a conflagration will be kindled,
    like a blazing bonfire.

17 “The light of Israel will become a fire,
    and its Holy One a flame,
and it will burn
    and consume Assyria’s[c] thorns and briers
        in a single day.
18 The splendor of its forest and its fruitful land
    the Lord will destroy—
        both soul and body—
and Assyria[d] will be
    as when a dying man wastes away.
