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.
18 Both the glory of his forest
and his fruitful field,
    he will consume, both soul and body.
It will be like a sick man wasting away.
