Isaiah 30:30

Compare all

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.

Isaiah 30:30

The Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard - Kimchi understands this of the great destruction of the Assyrian host by the angel of the Lord. Instead of bezaaph ats , "with swift anger, "five of Dr. Kennicott' s MSS. and one of my own, read bezaam aph , "with detestation indignant." For ats , "swift, "which is the common reading, forty-two of Kennicott' s, forty-three of De Rossi' s, and two of my own, have ats , "wrath or fury." The former reading, ats , is not found in any Bible previously to that of Van der Hooght, in 1705; and there it seems to be a typographical mistake.
