Isaiah 30:27–33

²⁷Look! The Lord comes from far away.

His anger is like a fire with thick clouds of smoke.

His mouth is filled with anger,

and his tongue is like a burning fire.

²⁸His breath is like a rushing river,

which rises to the throat.

He will judge the nations as if he is sifting them through the strainer of destruction.

He will place in their mouths a bit that will lead them the wrong way.

²⁹You will sing happy songs

as on the nights you begin a festival.

You will be happy like people listening to flutes

as they come to the mountain of the Lord,

to the Rock of Israel.

³⁰The Lord will cause all people to hear his great voice

and to see his powerful arm come down with anger,

like a great fire that burns everything,

like a great storm with much rain and hail.

³¹Assyria will be afraid when it hears the voice of the Lord,

because he will strike Assyria with a rod.

³²When the Lord punishes Assyria with a rod,

he will beat them to the music of tambourines and harps;

he will fight against them with his mighty weapons.

³³Topheth ⁿ has been made ready for a long time;

it is ready for the king.

It was made deep and wide

with much wood and fire.

And the Lord’s breath will come

like a stream of burning sulfur and set it on fire.
