16  They have burned it with fire; they have cut it down;

may they perish at the rebuke of your face!

17  ^vA thousand shall flee at the threat of one;

^wat the threat of five you shall flee,

till you are left

like a flagstaff on the top of a mountain,

like a signal on a hill.

20  Your sons have fainted;

they lie at the head of every street

like an antelope in a net;

they are full of the wrath of the Lord,

the rebuke of your God.

15  “For behold, the Lord will come in fire,

and his ^lchariots like the whirlwind,

to render his anger in fury,

and his rebuke with flames of fire.
