27 Behold, the name of the Lord comes from afar,
    burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke;[a]
his lips are full of fury,
    and his tongue is like a devouring fire;
28 (A)his breath is (B)like 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 (C)a bridle that leads astray.

29 You shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, (D)as when one sets out to the sound of the flute to go to (E)the mountain of the Lord, to (F)the Rock of Israel. 30 And the Lord (G)will cause his majestic voice to be heard and the descending blow of his arm to be seen, in furious anger (H)and a flame of devouring fire, with a cloudburst (I)and storm and hailstones. 31 The Assyrians will be terror-stricken at the voice of the Lord, (J)when he strikes with his rod. 32 And every stroke of the appointed staff that the Lord lays on them (K)will be to the sound of tambourines and lyres. (L)Battling with brandished arm, he will fight with them. 33 For (M)a burning place[b] has long been prepared; indeed, for the king it is made ready, (N)its pyre made deep and wide, with fire and wood in abundance; (O)the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.
