Isaiah 30:27-33
Legacy Standard Bible
27 Behold, (A)the name of Yahweh comes from afar;
(B)Burning is His anger and heavy is His [a]smoke;
His lips are filled with (C)indignation
And His tongue is like a (D)consuming fire;
28 His (E)breath is like an overflowing torrent,
Which (F)reaches to the neck,
To (G)shake the nations back and forth in a [b]sieve of worthlessness,
And to put in the jaws of the peoples (H)the bridle which staggers one to ruin.
29 You will have [c]songs as in the night when you set yourself apart as holy for the festival,
And gladness of heart as when one marches to the sound of the flute,
To go to the mountain of Yahweh, to the Rock of Israel.
30 And Yahweh will cause [d]His splendid voice to be heard,
And the [e]descending of His arm to be seen in raging anger,
And in the flame of a consuming fire
In cloudburst, downpour, and hailstones.
31 For (I)at the voice of Yahweh (J)Assyria will be dismayed,
When He strikes with the (K)rod.
32 And every [f]blow of the [g](L)appointed staff,
Which Yahweh will cause to rest upon him,
Will be with the music of (M)tambourines and lyres;
And in battles, (N)waving weapons He will fight them.
33 For [h](O)Topheth has long been ready,
Indeed, it has been prepared for the king.
He has made it deep and large,
[i]A pyre of fire with plenty of wood;
The (P)breath of Yahweh, like a torrent of (Q)brimstone, sets it afire.

Christian Standard Bible
Annihilation of the Assyrians
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.
