27 Behold, athe name of the Lord comes from a 1remote place;

bBurning is His anger and 2dense is His 3smoke;

His lips are filled with cindignation

And His tongue is like a dconsuming fire;

28 His abreath is like an overflowing torrent,

Which breaches to the neck,

To cshake the nations back and forth in a 1sieve,

And to put in the jaws of the peoples dthe bridle which 2leads to ruin.

29 You will have 1songs as in the night when you keep the festival,

And gladness of heart as when one marches to the sound of the flute,

To go to the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel.

30 And the Lord will cause 1His voice of authority to be heard,

And the 2descending of His arm to be seen in fierce anger,

And in the flame of a consuming fire

In cloudburst, downpour and hailstones.

31 For aat the voice of the Lord bAssyria will be terrified,

When He strikes with the crod.

32 And every 1blow of the 2arod of punishment,

Which the Lord will lay on him,

Will be with the music of btambourines and lyres;

And in battles, cbrandishing weapons, He will fight them.
