Isaiah 10:15-17

Tree of Life Version

¹⁵ Should the axe boast against the One who chops with it?
Should the saw magnify itself against the One who wields it?
It would be like a rod waving the One who lifts it,
or like a staff hoisting up the One who is not wood!

¹⁶ Therefore will the Lord Adonai-Tzva’ot,
    send leanness among his fat ones.
Under its glory He will kindle a burning
    like a blazing fire.
¹⁷ So the light of Israel will become a fire,
    and its Holy One a flame.
He will burn and consume
    its thorns and briers in one day.
