Isaiah 30:27-33

English Standard Version

²⁷Behold, 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.

²⁹You 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. ³⁰And 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. ³¹The Assyrians will be terror-stricken at the voice of the Lord, ^(J)when he strikes with his rod. ³²And 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. ³³For ^(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.
