Isaiah 30:31-33
The Voice
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.
33 After all, long ago, God prepared the place of vindication,
a funeral pyre for Assyria’s king laid deep and high,
A large stack of wood just waiting for God’s breath like brimstone to ignite it.
Isaiah 30:31-33
New International Version
31 The voice of the Lord will shatter Assyria;(A)
with his rod he will strike(B) them down.
32 Every stroke the Lord lays on them
with his punishing club(C)
will be to the music of timbrels(D) and harps,
as he fights them in battle with the blows of his arm.(E)
33 Topheth(F) 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(G) of the Lord,
like a stream of burning sulfur,(H)
sets it ablaze.(I)
Isaiah 30:31-33
King James Version
31 For through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
32 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the Lord shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
33 For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
