Context of Isaiah 10:16

14I’ve found the riches of nations as one finds a nest. I’ve gathered the whole world as one gathers abandoned eggs. Not one of them flapped a wing, opened its mouth, or peeped.” 15Can an ax attack the person who cuts with it? Can a saw make itself greater than the person who saws with it? A rod cannot move the person who lifts it. A wooden stick cannot pick up a person. That is why the Almighty Lord of Armies will send a degenerative disease against brave men. A flame will be turned into a raging fire under his power. 17Israel’s light will become a flame. Its Holy One will become a fire. He will burn up and devour the weeds and thornbushes in one day. 18The majestic forest and the orchard will destroy both body and soul. They will be like a sick person wasting away.
