30     Then the Eternal One will make unmistakable His absolute authority
        when all hear His voice, and God’s power will be obvious
    For all to see—God’s anger against the nations—that consuming fire
        like a cloudburst, thunderstorm, and hailstorm all at once.
31     And Assyria
        will cover its ears, terrified at the sound of God’s voice
    When He comes to strike them with His punishing rod.
32     And every wave of the Eternal’s attacks against Assyria
        will be accompanied by a song with tambourines and harps.
    In battle after battle, He lifts his arm and fights against them.

and reveal His arm(A) striking in angry wrath
and a flame of consuming fire,
in driving rain, a torrent, and hailstones.

He will strike with a rod.
32 And every stroke of the appointed[a] 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.
