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
⌋* 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
* 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
* that Yahweh lays will be on it with timbrels and lyres, and he will fight against it
* 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
⌋.
* The breath of Yahweh burns in it like a stream of sulfur.
