Does an ax take over from the one who swings it?Does a saw act more important than the sawyer?As if a shovel did its shoveling by using a ditch digger!As if a hammer used the carpenter to pound nails!Therefore the Master, God-of-the-Angel-Armies,will send a debilitating disease on his robust Assyrian fighters.Under the canopy of God’s bright glorya fierce fire will break out.Israel’s Light will burst into a conflagration.The Holy will explode into a firestorm,And in one day burn to cindersevery last Assyrian thornbush.God will destroy the splendid trees and lush gardens.The Assyrian body and soul will waste away to nothinglike a disease-ridden invalid.A child could count what’s left of the treeson the fingers of his two hands.
