15 Is the aaxe to bboast itself over the one who chops with it?
Is the saw to magnify itself over the one who wields it?
That would be like ca rod wielding those who lift it,
Or like ca staff lifting him who is not wood.
16 Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, will send a awasting disease among his bstout warriors;
And under his cglory a fire will be kindled like a burning flame.
17 And the alight of Israel will become a fire and his bHoly One a flame,
And it will cburn and devour his thorns and his briars in a single day.
18 And He will abring to an end the glory of his forest and of his fruitful orchard, both soul and body,
And it will be as when a sick man wastes away.
19 And the arest of the trees of his forest will be so small in number
That a child could write them down.
