And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.

The verse 19 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. The Assyrian king attributes his conquests to his own strength and wisdom, ignoring that Yahweh used him as an instrument. The passage develops a fundamental paradox of divine sovereignty: God can employ an ungodly power without approving its arrogance.

daß die übrigen Bäume seines Waldes können gezählt werden und ein Knabe sie kann aufschreiben.
Y los árboles que quedaren en su bosque, serán en número que un niño los pueda contar.
Los árboles que queden de su bosque serán tan pocos que un niño podrá anotarlos.
Le reste des arbres de sa forêt pourra être compté, Et un enfant en écrirait le nombre.
E il rimanente degli alberi del suo bosco sarà in piccol numero, ed un fanciullo potrà metterne il conto in iscritto
E o resto das árvores da sua floresta será tão pouco em número, que um menino poderá contá-las.
他林中只剩下稀少的樹木, 連孩童也能寫其數目。
