"Shall the ax boast itself against him who chops with it? Or shall the saw
exalt itself against him who saws with it? As if a rod could wield itself
against those who lift it up, or as if a staff could lift up, as if it were
not wood!
Therefore the Lord, the Lord of hosts, will send leanness among his fat
ones; And under his glory He will kindle a burning like the burning of a
fire.
So the Light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; It
will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
And it will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, both
soul and body; And they will be as when a sick man wastes away.
Then the rest of the trees of his forest will be so few in number that a
child may write them. [Aramaic Targum has: "And the remnant of the people of
his armies {ie. all the host-TSABA {the myriad of things/folks, appointed
times} of them." [Genesis 2:1]} will come to an end, to become a people of
small number and they will be esteemed a faint kingdom]
And it shall come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and such
as have escaped of the house of Jacob, will never again depend on him who
defeated them, but will depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in
truth. The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, To the Mighty God."
[Isaiah 10:15-21]

Typical Christian behaviour. Why should we bother with someone who doesn't
quote. Dolf is not an atheist. He has his own religion of which he is the
only member.
