The verse 17 is found in chapter 10 of Isaiah. Assyria is described as an instrument used by God to punish, yet its pride will also be judged.

Und das Licht Israels wird ein Feuer sein, und sein Heiliger wird eine Flamme sein, und sie wird seine Dornen und Hecken anzünden und verzehren auf einen Tag.
Y la luz de Israel será por fuego, y su Santo por llama que abrase y consuma en un día sus cardos y sus espinas.
La lumière d'Israël deviendra un feu, Et son Saint une flamme, Qui consumera et dévorera ses épines et ses ronces, En un seul jour;
E la luce d’Israele sarà come un fuoco, e il suo Santo come una fiamma; e arderà, e divorerà le vepri, ed i pruni di esso, in un giorno.

以色列 的光必變成火, 它的聖者必成為火焰; 一日之間,將 亞述 王的荊棘和蒺藜焚燒淨盡,
