27 Behold, (A)the name of the Lord comes from a [a]remote place;
(B)His anger is burning and [b]dense with [c]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 river,
Which (F)reaches to the neck,
To (G)shake the nations back and forth in a [d]sieve,
And to put in the jaws of the peoples (H)the bridle which leads astray.
29 You will have [e]songs as in the night when you keep the festival,
And gladness of heart as when one marches to the sound of the flute,
To go to the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel.
30 And the Lord will cause [f]His voice of authority to be heard,
And the [g]descending of His arm to be seen in fierce anger,
And in the flame of a consuming fire
In cloudburst, downpour, and hailstones.
31 For (I)at the voice of the Lord (J)Assyria will be terrified,
When He strikes with the (K)rod.
32 And every [h]blow of the [i](L)rod of punishment,
Which the Lord will lay on him,
Will be with the music of (M)tambourines and lyres;
And in battles, (N)brandishing weapons, He will fight them.
33 For [j](O)Topheth has long been ready,
Indeed, it has been prepared for the king.
He has made it deep and large,
[k]A pyre of fire with plenty of wood;
The (P)breath of the Lord, like a torrent of (Q)brimstone, sets it afire.

Assyria punished

27 Look there! The Lord is coming from far away;
    his anger blazing, his smoke-cloud thick.
His lips are full of fury;
    his tongue is like a devouring fire.
28 His breath is like a raging river that reaches up to the neck,
    to shake the nations with a sieve of destruction,
    and to put a misleading rein on the people’s jaws.
29 There will be singing for you
    as on the night that people celebrate a festival.
    The heart will be joyful as it is when one goes with a flute
        to the Lord’s mountain,
        to the rock of Israel.
30 The Lord will unleash his majestic voice
    and display his crushing arm
        in furious anger, with a flame of consuming fire,
        in stormy rain and hail.
31 The Lord’s voice will terrify Assyria;
    with a rod he will smite it.
32 And every crack that is made in the foundation wall,
    which the Lord will bring down upon him,
        will be accompanied by timbrels and lyres.
The Lord will raise his arm and fight against Assyria in battle. 33 His place for burning[a] was arranged long ago;
    it is indeed made ready for a king.
God has made its wood pile wide and deep,
    fire and wood in abundance.
    The breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, ignites it.
