Isaiah 30:27-33
1599 Geneva Bible
27 Behold, [a]the Name of the Lord cometh from far, his face is burning, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire.
28 And his spirit is as a river that overfloweth up to the neck: it divideth asunder, to fan the nations with the fan of [b]vanity, and there shall be a bridle to cause them to err in the jaws of the people.
29 But there shall be a song unto you as in the [c]night, when a solemn feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as he that cometh with a pipe to go unto the mount of the Lord, to the Mighty one of Israel.
30 And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall declare the lighting down of his arm with the anger of his countenance, and flame of a devouring fire, with scattering and tempest, and hailstones.
31 For with the voice of the Lord shall Assyria be destroyed, which smote with the [d]rod.
32 And in every place that the staff shall pass, it shall [e]cleave fast, which the Lord shall lay upon him with [f]tabrets and beards and with battles, and lifting up of hands shall he fight [g]against it.
33 For [h]Tophet is prepared of old; it is even prepared for the [i]King; he hath made it [j]deep and large: the burning thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a river of brimstone, doth kindle it.
