Isaiah 30:29-31
New English Translation
Isaiah 30:29-31
New English Translation
29 You will sing
as you do in the evening when you are celebrating a festival.
You will be happy like one who plays a flute
as he goes to the mountain of the Lord, the Rock who shelters Israel.[a]
30 The Lord will give a mighty shout[b]
and intervene in power,[c]
with furious anger and flaming, destructive fire,[d]
with a driving rainstorm and hailstones.
31 Indeed, the Lord’s shout will shatter Assyria;[e]
he will beat them with a club.
