¹⁷ Israel’s Light will become a fire,
and its Holy One, a flame.^(A)
In one day it will burn and consume Assyria’s thorns and thistles.^(B)

³³ Indeed! Topheth has been ready^(A)
for the king for a long time.
Its funeral pyre is deep and wide,
with plenty of fire and wood.
The breath of the Lord,^(B) like a torrent of burning sulphur,
kindles it.
