Isaiah 10:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ Therefore, the Lord, the Lord of hosts,
    will afflict a debilitating illness on his sturdy warriors,
and beneath his glory a fever will be kindled
    like the burning of fire.
¹⁷ The Light of Israel will become a fire
    and its Holy One a flame
that in a single day
    will burn up and consume
    his thorns and his briers.
¹⁸ His splendid forests and orchards
    will be totally destroyed, both body and soul,
    as when an invalid wastes away.
