Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
Therefore shall the Lord ... send among his fat ones - (Isaiah 5:17.) The robust and choice soldiers of Assyria (Psalms 78:31, where "fattest" answers in the parallelism to 'chosen,' or 'young men,' margin).
Leanness - carrying out the image in "fat ones." Destruction (Psalms 106:15). Fulfilled (Isaiah 37:36).
Under his glory - Assyria's nobles. So in Isaiah 5:13, margin, Isaiah 8:7.
He shall kindle a burning - a new image from fire consuming quickly dry materials (Zechariah 12:6).
