But the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away, Because they cannot be taken with the hand;
But the man that toucheth them Must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear: And they shall be utterly burned with fire in (their) place.
And the light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime, as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.
