14My hand has found the riches of the peoples like a nest, and like one gathers eggs that are abandoned, have I gathered all the earth. There was no one who moved their wing, or that opened their mouth, or chirped.”
15Should an ax brag against him who chops with it? Should a saw exalt itself above him who saws with it? As if a rod should lift those who lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up someone who is not wood.
16Therefore the Lord, Adonai Tzva'ot Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies, will send among his fat ones leanness; and under his kavod ·weighty glory· a burning will be kindled like the burning of fire.
17The light of Israel God prevails will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
