Isaiah 10:18

Judgment On Assyria

¹⁷ And the light of Israel will become a fire and his Holy One a flame,
And it will burn and devour his thorns and his briars in a single day.
¹⁸ And He will destroy the glory of his forest and of his fruitful garden, both soul and body,
And it will be as when a sick man wastes away.
¹⁹ And the rest of the trees of his forest will be so small in number
That a child could write them down.

And you have said, “With my many chariots

And I cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypresses.
And I entered its farthest lodging place, its thickest forest.

And because your arrogance has come up to My ears,

And I will turn you back by the way which you came.
