Isaiah 30:32-33
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
32 And every sweep of the rod of his punishment,
which the Lord will bring down on him,
Will be accompanied by timbrels and lyres,
while he wages war against him.(A)
33 For his tophet[a] has long been ready,
truly it is prepared for the king;
His firepit made both deep and wide,
with fire and firewood in abundance,
And the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur,
setting it afire.(B)
Notas al pie
- 30:33 Tophet: a site, near Jerusalem, where children were sacrificed by fire to Molech (2 Kgs 23:10), and where, probably, Ahaz sacrificed his son (2 Kgs 16:3). Here, Isaiah speaks of “his tophet,” the site prepared for burning up the king of Assyria. King: there seems to be a play on words between the Heb. word for king (melek) and the name Molech. This defeat of Assyria becomes the occasion for Israel’s festal rejoicing (v. 32).
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)
