27 See, the name of the Lord comes from far away,
    burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke;
his lips are full of fury,
    and his tongue is like a devouring fire.
28 His breath is like an overflowing torrent,
    and it rises right up to the neck,
to shake[a] the nations in the sieve of destruction,
    and to place in the jaws of the peoples a bit that leads them astray.

29 You will have songs as on nights when people celebrate a holy festival,[b] and gladness of heart, as when they set out with flutes to go to the Lord’s mountain, to the Rock of Israel.
