Isaiah 33:10-12
New English Translation
10 “Now I will rise up,” says the Lord.
“Now I will exalt myself;
now I will magnify myself.[a]
11 You conceive straw,[b]
you give birth to chaff;
your breath is a fire that destroys you.[c]
12 The nations will be burned to ashes;[d]
like thorn bushes that have been cut down, they will be set on fire.
