16 Therefore the Lord God of hosts
    will send wasting sickness among his (A)stout warriors,
and under his glory (B)a burning will be kindled,
    like the burning of fire.

    and (D)his Holy One a flame,
and (E)it will burn and devour
    his thorns and briers (F)in one day.

    and it will be as when a sick man wastes away.
19 The remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few
    that a child can write them down.
