Bible verse
The peoples will be burned to ashes, like thorns cut down and set ablaze.
Isaiah 33:12 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 33.
8 The highways are deserted; travel has ceased. The treaty has been broken, the witnesses are despised, and human life is disregarded.
9 The land mourns and languishes; Lebanon is ashamed and decayed. Sharon is like a desert; Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
10 “Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift Myself up. Now I will be exalted.
11 You conceive chaff; you give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will consume you.
12 The peoples will be burned to ashes, like thorns cut down and set ablaze.
13 You who are far off, hear what I have done; you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling grips the ungodly: “Who of us can dwell with a consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting flames?”
15 He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, who refuses gain from extortion, whose hand never takes a bribe, who stops his ears against murderous plots and shuts his eyes tightly against evil—
16 he will dwell on the heights; the mountain fortress will be his refuge; his food will be provided and his water assured.
