Isaiah 42:25

וַיִּשְׁפֹּ֤ךְ עָלָיו֙ חֵמָ֣ה אַפֹּ֔ו וֶעֱז֖וּז מִלְחָמָ֑ה וַתְּלַהֲטֵ֤הוּ מִסָּבִיב֙ וְלֹ֣א יָדָ֔ע וַתִּבְעַר־בֹּ֖ו וְלֹא־יָשִׂ֥ים עַל־לֵֽב׃ פ

And He poured upon him the fury of His anger and the strength of battle, and it set him ablaze all around, but he did not know; and it burned in him, yet he did not take it to heart.
