Isaiah 10:12-19
New International Version
12 When the Lord has finished all his work(A) against Mount Zion(B) and Jerusalem, he will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria(C) for the willful pride(D) of his heart and the haughty look(E) in his eyes. 13 For he says:
“‘By the strength of my hand(F) I have done this,(G)
and by my wisdom, because I have understanding.
I removed the boundaries of nations,
I plundered their treasures;(H)
like a mighty one I subdued[a] their kings.(I)
14 As one reaches into a nest,(J)
so my hand reached for the wealth(K) of the nations;
as people gather abandoned eggs,
so I gathered all the countries;(L)
not one flapped a wing,
or opened its mouth to chirp.(M)’”
15 Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it,
or the saw boast against the one who uses it?(N)
As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up,
or a club(O) brandish the one who is not wood!
16 Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
will send a wasting disease(P) upon his sturdy warriors;(Q)
under his pomp(R) a fire(S) will be kindled
like a blazing flame.
17 The Light of Israel will become a fire,(T)
their Holy One(U) a flame;
in a single day it will burn and consume
his thorns(V) and his briers.(W)
18 The splendor of his forests(X) and fertile fields
it will completely destroy,(Y)
as when a sick person wastes away.
19 And the remaining trees of his forests(Z) will be so few(AA)
that a child could write them down.

sets it ablaze.(I)
