“It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.”
Divine destruction is reversed: "They have burned it with fire, they have cut it down; may they perish at the rebuke of your face." The enemies' destruction of the vine (Israel's suffering) becomes the occasion for a prayer that the enemies perish. The phrase "rebuke of your face" suggests that God's mere disapproval is sufficient to destroy the enemies.
