Isaiah 10:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 Therefore the Lord, the Lord of hosts,
will send leanness among his fat ones,[a]
And under his glory there will be a kindling
like the kindling of fire.(A)
17 The Light of Israel will become a fire,
the Holy One, a flame,
That burns and consumes its briers
and its thorns in a single day.(B)
18 And the glory of its forests and orchards
will be consumed, soul and body,
and it will be like a sick man who wastes away.
