Isaiah 30:29

Isaiah 30:29

Judgment on Assyria

27 Behold, the name of the Lord comes from afar,
Burning with His anger,
And His burden is heavy;
His lips are full of indignation,
And His tongue like a devouring fire.

28 ^aHis breath is like an overflowing stream,
^bWhich reaches up to the neck,
To sift the nations with the sieve of futility;
And there shall be ^ca bridle in the jaws of the people,
Causing them to err.

29 You shall have a song
As in the night when a holy festival is kept,
And gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute,
To¹ come into ^athe mountain of the Lord,
To the Mighty One of Israel.

30 ^aThe Lord will cause His glorious voice to be heard,
And show the descent of His arm,
With the indignation of His anger
And the flame of a devouring fire,
With scattering, tempest, ^band hailstones.

31 For ^athrough the voice of the Lord
Assyria will be¹ beaten down,
As He strikes with the ^brod.

32 And in every place where the staff of punishment passes,
Which the Lord lays on him,
It will be with tambourines and harps;
And in battles of ^abrandishing He will fight with it.

33 ^aFor Tophet was established of old,
Yes, for the king it is prepared.
He has made it deep and large;
Its pyre is fire with much wood;
The breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone,
Kindles it.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 30:28

Isaiah 30:30 >>

A song - You shall have songs of praise. The night - He seems to have a particular respect to the solemnity of the passover, in which they spent some considerable part of the night in rejoicing, and singing psalms before the Lord. As when - Like the joy of one that is going up to the solemn feasts with musick.
