29 You will have [a]songs as in the night when you keep the festival,
And gladness of heart as when one marches to the sound of the flute,

And the [c]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 (A)at the voice of the Lord (B)Assyria will be terrified,
When He strikes with the (C)rod.
