Isaiah 10:15-19

English Standard Version

¹⁵ Shall ^(A)the axe boast over him who hews with it,
    or the saw magnify itself against him who wields it?
As if a rod should wield him who lifts it,
    or as if a staff should lift him who is not wood!
¹⁶ Therefore the Lord God of hosts
    will send wasting sickness among his ^(B)stout warriors,
and under his glory ^(C)a burning will be kindled,
    like the burning of fire.
^17 (D)The light of Israel will become a fire,
    and ^(E)his Holy One a flame,
and ^(F)it will burn and devour
    his thorns and briers ^(G)in one day.
¹⁸ The glory of ^(H)his forest and of his ^(I)fruitful land
    the Lord will destroy, both soul and body,
    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.
