Isaiah 30:27-33

New Century Version

²⁷ Look! The Lord comes from far away.
    His anger is like a fire with thick clouds of smoke.
His mouth is filled with anger,
    and his tongue is like a burning fire.
²⁸ His breath is like a rushing river,
    which rises to the throat.
He will judge the nations as if he is sifting them through the strainer of destruction.
    He will place in their mouths a bit that will lead them the wrong way.
²⁹ You will sing happy songs
    as on the nights you begin a festival.
You will be happy like people listening to flutes
    as they come to the mountain of the Lord,
    to the Rock of Israel.
³⁰ The Lord will cause all people to hear his great voice
    and to see his powerful arm come down with anger,
like a great fire that burns everything,
    like a great storm with much rain and hail.
³¹ Assyria will be afraid when it hears the voice of the Lord,
    because he will strike Assyria with a rod.
³² When the Lord punishes Assyria with a rod,
    he will beat them to the music of tambourines and harps;
    he will fight against them with his mighty weapons.
³³ Topheth^[a] has been made ready for a long time;
    it is ready for the king.
It was made deep and wide
    with much wood and fire.
And the Lord’s breath will come
    like a stream of burning sulfur and set it on fire.
