Isaiah 10:18-20
The Voice
17-18 The light of God’s people will be like a fire that burns up
the thorns and briars in a single day.
The Holy One will become a flame and make an end of all of Assyria’s schemes.
God will consume the grandeur of his forest and fruitful fields;
He will consume both body and soul,
as when the sick grow weak and waste away.
19 So few trees will remain of his glorious forest
that a child could count them.
20 Then, the few that remain of Israel,
that handful of Jacob’s people who escape,
Will finally quit depending on the power of others
(others who abuse and take advantage of them)
And will instead lean on the Eternal One, the Holy One of Israel.
