Yesaya 27:4
Konteks27:4 I am not angry.
I wish I could confront some thorns and briers!
Then I would march against them 1 for battle;
I would set them 2 all on fire,
Yesaya 33:12
Konteks33:12 The nations will be burned to ashes; 3
like thorn bushes that have been cut down, they will be set on fire.
