Topheth’s fierce fires are well prepared,

ready for the Assyrian king.

The Topheth furnace is deep and wide,

well stoked with hot-burning wood.

God’s breath, like a river of burning pitch,

starts the fire.

sets it ablaze.

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.
