Bible verse
The remaining trees of its forests will be so few that a child could count them.
Isaiah 10:19 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 10.
15 Does an axe raise itself above the one who swings it? Does a saw boast over him who saws with it? It would be like a rod waving the one who lifts it, or a staff lifting him who is not wood!
16 Therefore the Lord GOD of Hosts will send a wasting disease among Assyria’s stout warriors, and under his pomp will be kindled a fire like a burning flame.
17 And the Light of Israel will become a fire, and its Holy One a flame. In a single day it will burn and devour Assyria’s thorns and thistles.
18 The splendor of its forests and orchards, both soul and body, it will completely destroy, as a sickness consumes a man.
19 The remaining trees of its forests will be so few that a child could count them.
20 On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on him who struck them, but they will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
21 A remnant will return—a remnant of Jacob—to the Mighty God.
22 Though your people, O Israel, be like the sand of the sea, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overflowing with righteousness.
23 For the Lord GOD of Hosts will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land.
