Isaiah 30:31-33

^{Tools
31}

Assyria will be shattered by the voice of the Lord.
He will strike with a rod.

^{Tools
32}

And every stroke of the appointed^(a) staff
that the Lord brings down on him
will be to the sound of tambourines and lyres;
He will fight against him with brandished weapons.

^{Tools
33}

Indeed! Topheth has been ready^(A)
for the king for a long time now.
Its funeral pyre is deep and wide,
with plenty of fire and wood.
The breath of the Lord,^(B) like a torrent of brimstone,
kindles it.
