Isaiah 30:27-33
New American Standard Bible
27 Behold, (A)the name of the Lord comes from a [a]remote place;
(B)His anger is burning and [b]dense with [c]smoke;
His lips are filled with (C)indignation,
And His tongue is like a (D)consuming fire;
28 His (E)breath is like an overflowing river,
Which (F)reaches to the neck,
To (G)shake the nations back and forth in a [d]sieve,
And to put in the jaws of the peoples (H)the bridle which leads astray.
29 You will have [e]songs as in the night when you keep the festival,
And gladness of heart as when one marches to the sound of the flute,
To go to the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel.
30 And the Lord will cause [f]His voice of authority to be heard,
And the [g]descending of His arm to be seen in fierce anger,
And in the flame of a consuming fire
In cloudburst, downpour, and hailstones.
31 For (I)at the voice of the Lord (J)Assyria will be terrified,
When He strikes with the (K)rod.
32 And every [h]blow of the [i](L)rod of punishment,
Which the Lord will lay on him,
Will be with the music of (M)tambourines and lyres;
And in battles, (N)brandishing weapons, He will fight them.
33 For [j](O)Topheth has long been ready,
Indeed, it has been prepared for the king.
He has made it deep and large,
[k]A pyre of fire with plenty of wood;
The (P)breath of the Lord, like a torrent of (Q)brimstone, sets it afire.

Annihilation of the Assyrians
27 Look, Yahweh[a] comes from far away,
His anger burning and heavy with smoke.[b]
His lips are full of fury,
and His tongue is like a consuming fire.
28 His breath is like an overflowing torrent(A)
that rises to the neck.(B)
He comes to sift the nations in a sieve of destruction
and to put a bridle on the jaws of the peoples
to lead them astray.(C)
29 Your singing will be like that
on the night of a holy festival,
and your heart will rejoice
like one who walks to the music of a flute,
going up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the Rock of Israel.(D)
30 And the Lord will make the splendor of His voice heard
and reveal His arm(E) striking in angry wrath
and a flame of consuming fire,
in driving rain, a torrent, and hailstones.
31 Assyria will be shattered by the voice of the Lord.
He will strike with a rod.
32 And every stroke of the appointed[c] staff
that the Lord brings down on him
will be to the sound of tambourines and lyres;
He will fight against him with brandished weapons.
33 Indeed! Topheth has been ready(F)
for the king for a long time now.
Its funeral pyre is deep and wide,
with plenty of fire and wood.
The breath of the Lord,(G) like a torrent of brimstone,
kindles it.

New International Version
Isaiah 30:27-33
New International Version
27 See, the Name(A) of the Lord comes from afar,
with burning anger(B) and dense clouds of smoke;
his lips are full of wrath,(C)
and his tongue is a consuming fire.(D)
28 His breath(E) is like a rushing torrent,(F)
rising up to the neck.(G)
He shakes the nations in the sieve(H) of destruction;
he places in the jaws of the peoples
a bit(I) that leads them astray.
29 And you will sing
as on the night you celebrate a holy festival;(J)
your hearts will rejoice(K)
as when people playing pipes(L) go up
to the mountain(M) of the Lord,
to the Rock(N) of Israel.
30 The Lord will cause people to hear his majestic voice(O)
and will make them see his arm(P) coming down
with raging anger(Q) and consuming fire,(R)
with cloudburst, thunderstorm(S) and hail.(T)
31 The voice of the Lord will shatter Assyria;(U)
with his rod he will strike(V) them down.
32 Every stroke the Lord lays on them
with his punishing club(W)
will be to the music of timbrels(X) and harps,
as he fights them in battle with the blows of his arm.(Y)
33 Topheth(Z) has long been prepared;
it has been made ready for the king.
Its fire pit has been made deep and wide,
with an abundance of fire and wood;
the breath(AA) of the Lord,
like a stream of burning sulfur,(AB)
sets it ablaze.(AC)
