Isaiah 30:31-33

^{Tools
31}

For ^(A)at the voice of the Lord ^(B)Assyria will be terrified,
When He strikes with the ^(C)rod.

^{Tools
32}

And every ^(a)blow of the ^(b)^(D)rod of punishment,
Which the Lord will lay on him,
Will be with the music of ^(E)tambourines and lyres;
And in battles, ^(F)brandishing weapons, He will fight them.

^{Tools
33}

For ^(c)^(G)Topheth has long been ready,
Indeed, it has been prepared for the king.
He has made it deep and large,
^(d)A pyre of fire with plenty of wood;
The ^(H)breath of the Lord, like a torrent of ^(I)brimstone, sets it afire.
