²⁷ Look! The name of Yahweh comes from afar,
    burning with his anger and heaviness of cloud.
His lips are full of indignation,
    and his tongue is like a devouring fire.
²⁸ And his breath is like an overflowing river;
    it reaches up to the neck
to shake the nations with the sieve of worthlessness;
    and a bridle that leads astray is on the jawbones of the peoples.
²⁹ You shall have a song^[a] as in the night when a holy festival is kept,
    and a gladness of heart like one who goes with the flute,
        to go to the mountain of Yahweh, to the rock of Israel.
³⁰ And Yahweh will cause the majesty of his voice to be heard,
    and he will cause the descent of his arm to be seen,
in furious anger and a flame of devouring fire,
    with a cloudburst and a rainstorm and stones^[b] of hail.
³¹ Indeed, Assyria will be shattered by the voice of Yahweh;
    he strikes with the rod.
³² And every stroke of the staff of foundation^[c] that Yahweh lays will be on it with timbrels and lyres,
    and he will fight against it^[d] with battles of brandishing.
³³ For Topheth has been prepared from yesterday;
    indeed, it is made ready for the king.
He makes its pile of wood deep and wide;
    he makes fire and wood abundant.^[e]
        The breath of Yahweh burns in it like a stream of sulfur.
