¹⁷ The Light of Israel will become a fire,^(A)
    their Holy One^(B) a flame;
in a single day it will burn and consume
    his thorns^(C) and his briers.^(D)

³¹ The voice of the Lord will shatter Assyria;^(A)
    with his rod he will strike^(B) them down.
³² Every stroke the Lord lays on them
    with his punishing club^(C)
will be to the music of timbrels^(D) and harps,
    as he fights them in battle with the blows of his arm.^(E)
33 Topheth^(F) has long been prepared;
    it has been made ready for the king.
Its fire pit has been made deep and wide,
    with an abundance of fire and wood;
the breath^(G) of the Lord,
    like a stream of burning sulfur,^(H)
    sets it ablaze.^(I)

⁸ “Assyria^(A) will fall by no human sword;
    a sword, not of mortals, will devour^(B) them.
They will flee before the sword
    and their young men will be put to forced labor.^(C)
9 Their stronghold^(D) will fall because of terror;
    at the sight of the battle standard^(E) their commanders will panic,^(F)”
declares the Lord,
    whose fire^(G) is in Zion,
    whose furnace^(H) is in Jerusalem.
