Isaiah 30:27-33

Christian Standard Bible

²⁷ Look! The name of the Lord is coming from far away,
his anger burning and heavy with smoke.^[a]
His lips are full of fury,
and his tongue is like a consuming fire.
²⁸ His breath is like an overflowing torrent^(A)
that rises to the neck.^(B)
He comes to sift the nations in a sieve of destruction
and to put a bridle on the jaws of the peoples
to lead them astray.^(C)
29 Your singing will be like that
on the night of a holy festival,
and your heart will rejoice
like one who walks to the music of a flute,
going up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the Rock of Israel.^(D)
30 And the Lord will make the splendor of his voice heard
and reveal his arm^(E) striking in angry wrath
and a flame of consuming fire,
in driving rain, a torrent, and hailstones.
³¹ Assyria will be shattered by the voice of the Lord.
He will strike with a rod.
³² And every stroke of the appointed^[b] 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.
³³ Indeed! Topheth has been ready^(F)
for the king for a long time.
Its funeral pyre is deep and wide,
with plenty of fire and wood.
The breath of the Lord,^(G) like a torrent of burning sulfur,
kindles it.
