He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.

Modern English

He has cut down in fierce anger all the might of Israel; he has withdrawn his right hand from before the enemy; he has burned like a flaming fire in Jacob, consuming all around.
