Isaiah 27:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ I, the Lord, am its Keeper; I water it every moment; lest anyone harm it, I guard and keep it night and day.

⁴ Wrath is not in Me. Would that the briers and thorns [the wicked internal foe] were lined up against Me in battle! I would stride in against them; I would burn them up together.

⁵ Or else [if all Israel would escape being burned up together there is but one alternative], let them take hold of My strength and make complete surrender to My protection, that they may make peace with Me! Yes, let them make peace with Me!
