31 For (A)at the voice of the Lord (B)Assyria will be terrified,
When He strikes with the (C)rod.
32 And every [a]blow of the [b](D)rod of punishment,
Which the Lord will lay on him,
Will be with the music of (E)tambourines and lyres;
And in battles, (F)brandishing weapons, He will fight them.
33 For [c](G)Topheth has long been ready,
Indeed, it has been prepared for the king.
He has made it deep and large,
[d]A pyre of fire with plenty of wood;
The (H)breath of the Lord, like a torrent of (I)brimstone, sets it afire.
