Isaiah 30:27–33

²⁷Behold, the name of the Lord comes from afar,

burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke;⁴

his lips are full of fury,

and his tongue is like a devouring fire;

^28ghis breath is ^hlike an overflowing stream

that reaches up to the neck;

to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction,

and to place on the jaws of the peoples ⁱa bridle that leads astray.

²⁹You shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, ^jas when one sets out to the sound of the flute to go to ^kthe mountain of the Lord, to ^lthe Rock of Israel. ³⁰And the Lord ^mwill cause his majestic voice to be heard and the descending blow of his arm to be seen, in furious anger ⁿand a flame of devouring fire, with a cloudburst ^oand storm and hailstones. ³¹The Assyrians will be terror-stricken at the voice of the Lord, ^pwhen he strikes with his rod. ³²And every stroke of the appointed staff that the Lord lays on them ^qwill be to the sound of tambourines and lyres. ^rBattling with brandished arm, he will fight with them. ³³For ^sa burning place⁵ has long been prepared; indeed, for the king it is made ready, ^tits pyre made deep and wide, with fire and wood in abundance; ^uthe breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.
