Isaiah

Isaiah 30:30–33

³⁰And the LORD will cause His majestic voice to be heard

and His mighty arm to be revealed,

striking in angry wrath with a flame of consuming fire,

and with cloudburst, storm, and hailstones.

³¹For Assyria will be shattered at the voice of the LORD;

He will strike them with His scepter.

³²And with every stroke of the rod of punishment^b

that the LORD brings down on them,

the tambourines and lyres will sound

as He battles with weapons brandished.

³³For Topheth has long been prepared;

it has been made ready for the king.

Its funeral pyre is deep and wide,

with plenty of fire and wood.

The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of burning sulfur,

sets it ablaze.
