17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;

18 and shall consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, from the soul unto the flesh; and they shall come to be as a standard-bearer in defeat.

19 And the trees that shall remain in his forest shall be in number such that a child may count them.

17 The Light of Israel will become a fire,(A)
    their Holy One(B) a flame;

    his thorns(C) and his briers.(D)

    that a child could write them down.
