“‘By the strength of my hand^(A) I have done this,^(B)
    and by my wisdom, because I have understanding.
I removed the boundaries of nations,
    I plundered their treasures;^(C)
    like a mighty one I subdued^[a] their kings.^(D)

¹⁷ The Light of Israel will become a fire,^(A)
    their Holy One^(B) a flame;
in a single day it will burn and consume
    his thorns^(C) and his briers.^(D)

¹⁹ From the west,^(A) people will fear the name of the Lord,
    and from the rising of the sun,^(B) they will revere his glory.^(C)
For he will come like a pent-up flood
    that the breath^(D) of the Lord drives along.^[a]
