Isaiah 10:16

The anger of God rose against them And killed some of their stoutest ones, And subdued the choice men of Israel.

So He gave them their request, But sent a wasting disease against their lives.

Now it will be in that day, that the glory of Jacob will wane, And the fatness of his flesh will become lean.

“His rock will pass away because of terror, And his princes will be dismayed at the standard,” Declares Yahweh, whose fire is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

Sinners in Zion are in dread; Trembling has seized the godless. “Who among us can sojourn with the consuming fire? Who among us can sojourn with continual burning?”

“But I will punish you according to the results of your deeds,” declares Yahweh, “And I will kindle a fire in its forest That it may devour all its surroundings.”’”

“How can you say, ‘We are mighty warriors, And men valiant for battle’?

“I will search for the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken, and strengthen the sick; but the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd them with judgment.

Thus says Yahweh, “Though they are at full strength and likewise many, Even so, they will be cut off and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no longer.

And He will stretch out His hand against the north And cause Assyria to perish, And He will make Nineveh a desolation, Parched like the wilderness.
