“ʻ“And the inhabitants of the towns[c] of Israel will go out, and they will set ablaze, and they will kindle a fire with a weapon[d] and a small shield and a shield,[e] with a bow and with arrows, and with hand clubs[f] and with spears,[g] and so they will light a fire with them, a fire lasting seven years.[h] 10 And they will not carry trees from the field, and they will not chop wood from the forests, for with the weapons[i] they will light a fire; and they will plunder those plundering them, and they will plunder those plundering them,”’ declares[j] the Lord Yahweh.
