Isaiah 30:27-29

Annihilation of the Assyrians

^{Tools
27}

Look, Yahweh^(a) comes from far away,
His anger burning and heavy with smoke.^(b)
His lips are full of fury,
and His tongue is like a consuming fire.

^{Tools

His breath is like an overflowing torrent^(A)
that rises to the neck.^(B)
He comes to sift the nations in a sieve of destruction
and to put a bridle on the jaws of the peoples
to lead them astray.^(C)

^{Tools
29}

Your singing will be like that
on the night of a holy festival,
and your heart will rejoice
like one who walks to the music of a flute,
going up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the Rock of Israel.^(D)
