TSK · Isaiah 27:4

But evil people are like thorns– all of them are tossed away, for they cannot be held in the hand.

You withdrew all your fury; you turned back from your raging anger.

For evil burned like a fire, it consumed thorns and briers; it burned up the thickets of the forest, and they went up in smoke.

At that time you will say:“I praise you, O LORD, for even though you were angry with me, your anger subsided, and you consoled me.

“Indeed, the LORD will call you back like a wife who has been abandoned and suffers from depression, like a young wife when she has been rejected,” says your God.

Then you will remember, be ashamed, and remain silent because of your disgrace when I make atonement for all you have done, declares the Sovereign LORD.’”

You will trample on the wicked, for they will be like ashes under the soles of your feet on the day which I am preparing,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.

But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is useless and about to be cursed; its fate is to be burned.
