Isaiah 30:30–33

And the Lord will cause his majestic voice to be heard and the descending blow of his arm to be seen, in furious anger and a flame of devouring fire, with a cloudburst and storm and hailstones. The Assyrians will be terror-stricken at the voice of the Lord, when he strikes with his rod. And every stroke of the appointed staff that the Lord lays on them will be to the sound of tambourines and lyres. Battling with brandished arm, he will fight with them. For a burning place has long been prepared; indeed, for the king it is made ready, its pyre made deep and wide, with fire and wood in abundance; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.

The Lord will cause people to hear his majestic voice

and will make them see his arm coming down

with raging anger and consuming fire,

with cloudburst, thunderstorm and hail.

The voice of the Lord will shatter Assyria;

with his rod he will strike them down.

Every stroke the Lord lays on them

with his punishing club

will be to the music of timbrels and harps,

as he fights them in battle with the blows of his arm.

Topheth has long been prepared;

it has been made ready for the king.

Its fire pit has been made deep and wide,

with an abundance of fire and wood;

the breath of the Lord,

like a stream of burning sulfur,

sets it ablaze.

And the Lord will make his majestic voice heard.

He will display the strength of his mighty arm.

It will descend with devouring flames,

with cloudbursts, thunderstorms, and huge hailstones.

At the Lord’s command, the Assyrians will be shattered.

He will strike them down with his royal scepter.

And as the Lord strikes them with his rod of punishment,

his people will celebrate with tambourines and harps.

Lifting his mighty arm, he will fight the Assyrians.

Topheth—the place of burning—

has long been ready for the Assyrian king;

the pyre is piled high with wood.

The breath of the Lord, like fire from a volcano,

will set it ablaze.

And Yahweh will cause the majesty of his voice to be heard,

and he will cause the descent of his arm to be seen,

in furious anger and a flame of devouring fire,

with a cloudburst and a rainstorm and stones of hail.

Indeed, Assyria will be shattered by the voice of Yahweh;

he strikes with the rod.

And every stroke of the staff of foundation that Yahweh lays will be on it with timbrels and lyres,

and he will fight against it with battles of brandishing.

For Topheth has been prepared from yesterday;

indeed, it is made ready for the king.

He makes its pile of wood deep and wide;

he makes fire and wood abundant.

The breath of Yahweh burns in it like a stream of sulfur.

And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard,

And shall shew the lighting down of his arm,

With the indignation of his anger,

And with the flame of a devouring fire,

With scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

For through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down,

Which smote with a rod.

And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass,

Which the Lord shall lay upon him,

It shall be with tabrets and harps:

And in battles of shaking will he fight with it.

For Tophet is ordained of old;

Yea, for the king it is prepared;

He hath made it deep and large:

The pile thereof is fire and much wood;

The breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
