17 And the light of Israel shall be as a [a]fire, and the Holy one thereof as a flame, and it shall burn, and devour [b]his thorns and his briers in one day:

18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful fields both soul [c]and flesh: and he shall be as the [d]fainting of a standard bearer.

19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may tell them.
