Isaiah 30:31-33

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

³¹ The Assyrian will be terror-stricken at the voice of the Lord, when he strikes with his rod. ³² And every stroke of the staff of punishment that the Lord lays upon him will be to the sound of timbrels and lyres; battling with brandished arm he will fight with him. ³³ For his burning-place^[a] has long been prepared; truly it is made ready for the king,^[b] its pyre made deep and wide, with fire and wood in abundance; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulphur, kindles it.
