The reference to nations consumed as lime and thorns cut down and burned establishes that the enemies of God's people will be completely destroyed, consumed as if by fire. This verse uses the imagery of burning lime and thorns to suggest the totality and finality of destruction, with no possibility of restoration or recovery. The quickness and completeness of the burning emphasizes the overwhelming nature of the judgment and the futility of resistance. The verse assures those who fear that God will act decisively to destroy those who oppose His purposes.
