27 See, the name of the LORD is coming from afar, burning with anger, heavy with threat, His lips filled with fury, tongue like a consuming fire,

28 Breath like an overflowing torrent that reaches up to the neck! He will winnow the nations with a destructive winnowing and bridle the jaws of the peoples to send them astray.

29 For you, there will be singing as on a night when a feast is observed, And joy of heart as when one marches along with a flute Going to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.

30 The LORD will make his glorious voice heard, and reveal his arm coming down In raging fury and flame of consuming fire, in tempest, and rainstorm, and hail.

31 For at the voice of the LORD, Assyria will be shattered, as he strikes with the rod;

32 And every sweep of the rod of his punishment, which the LORD will bring down on him, Will be accompanied by timbrels and lyres, while he wages war against him.

33 For his tophet has long been ready, truly it is prepared for the king; His firepit made both deep and wide, with fire and firewood in abundance, And the breath of the LORD, like a stream of sulfur, setting it afire.
