Isaiah 30:32-33
International Standard Version
32 And every stroke of his punishing rod[a] that the Lord brings down on them will be to the sound of tambourines and harps, as he fights against her[b] in battle with a brandished arm.
33 For the Fire Pit[c] has long been prepared; truly it is for the king; it will indeed be made ready.[d] And[e] its pyre will be deep and wide, with abundant fire and wood. Like a stream of burning sulfur, the breath of the Lord will set it ablaze.

Isaiah 30:32-33
New International Version
32 Every stroke the Lord lays on them
with his punishing club(A)
will be to the music of timbrels(B) and harps,
as he fights them in battle with the blows of his arm.(C)
33 Topheth(D) 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(E) of the Lord,
like a stream of burning sulfur,(F)
sets it ablaze.(G)
