For the trampling boot of battle
and the bloodied garments of war
will be burned as fuel for the fire.

The land is scorched
by the wrath of the Lord of Hosts,
and the people are like fuel for the fire.
No one has compassion on his brother.

Lebanon is not enough for fuel,
or its animals enough for a burnt offering.

It serves as fuel for man.
He takes some of it and warms himself;
also he kindles a fire and bakes bread;
he even makes it into a god and worships it;
he makes an idol from it and bows down to it.
