Isaiah 10:17-23

¹⁷Israel's light will become a fire, and his Holy One will become a flame. It will burn up his thorns and brambles in just one day.

¹⁸It will totally destroy its splendid forests and orchards. Assyria will waste away, staggering off like someone sick.

¹⁹The trees left in its forests will be so few that a child could count them.

²⁰At that time those who are left in Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer trust in those who turn on them, but they will truly trust in the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

²¹A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob will come back to the Mighty God.

²²Israel, even though your people are as numerous as sand on the seashore, only a remnant will return. The Lord has rightly decided to destroy his people.

²³The Lord God Almighty has rightly decided to bring destruction throughout the whole country.
