    will send ·a terrible disease [L leanness; emaciation] upon Assyria’s ·soldiers [strong/stout/fat ones].

    the Holy One [1:4] will be like a flame.
He will be like a fire
    that ·suddenly [L in one day] burns and ·consumes [devours] the weeds and thorns.
18 The fire burns away the ·great [glorious] trees and rich farmlands,
    destroying everything.
    It will be like a sick person who wastes away.
