The peoples will be burned to lime, as thornbushes are cut down and are burned

Alternate translation: "Fire will burn the peoples' bodies to lime in the same way that a farmer cuts down thornbushes and burns them" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
