Isaiah 10:16
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.

Study Note
God's judgment on Assyria's arrogance takes the form of 'leanness' sent among its 'fat ones' and a consuming fire kindled under its glory. The juxtaposition of leanness (wasting disease) and fire (military defeat) applies two distinct forms of divine judgment to the Assyrian pride described in 10:12-15. The historical background is Sennacherib's failure to take Jerusalem in 701 BCE, when the Assyrian army was struck by catastrophic loss (Isaiah 37:36-37), which the biblical narrative interprets as divine intervention. The theological claim is that human imperial ambition, however powerful, operates within a divinely set limit — a message that carried sustained relevance for every subsequent imperial situation in Israel's history.
