Isaiah 30:30-33

The Lord Will Be Gracious

30 And the Lord m will cause his majestic voice to be heard and the descending blow of his arm to be seen, in furious anger n and a flame of devouring fire, with a cloudburst o and storm and hailstones. 31 The Assyrians will be terror-stricken at the voice of the Lord, p when he strikes with his rod. 32 And every stroke of the appointed staff that the Lord lays on them q will be to the sound of tambourines and lyres. r Battling with brandished arm, he will fight with them. 33 For s a burning place 1 has long been prepared; indeed, for the king it is made ready, t its pyre made deep and wide, with fire and wood in abundance; u the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.
