26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah bindeth up the hurt of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

27 Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire; 28 and his breath is as an overflowing stream, that reacheth even unto the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction: and a bridle that causeth to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.

    with burning anger(D) and dense clouds of smoke;
his lips are full of wrath,(E)
    and his tongue is a consuming fire.(F)
28 His breath(G) is like a rushing torrent,(H)

    he places in the jaws of the peoples
    a bit(K) that leads them astray.
