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.
