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.
