27 See, the Lord comes from afar, aflame with wrath, surrounded by thick rising smoke. His lips are filled with fury; his words consume like fire. 28 His wrath pours out like floods upon them all, to sweep them all away. He will sift out the proud nations and bridle them and lead them off to their doom.

29 But the people of God will sing a song of solemn joy, like songs in the night when holy feasts are held; his people will have gladness of heart, as when a flutist leads a pilgrim band to Jerusalem to the mountain of the Lord, the Rock of Israel.

27 See, the Name(A) of the Lord comes from afar,
    with burning anger(B) and dense clouds of smoke;
his lips are full of wrath,(C)
    and his tongue is a consuming fire.(D)
28 His breath(E) is like a rushing torrent,(F)
    rising up to the neck.(G)
He shakes the nations in the sieve(H) of destruction;
    he places in the jaws of the peoples
    a bit(I) that leads them astray.
29 And you will sing
    as on the night you celebrate a holy festival;(J)
your hearts will rejoice(K)
    as when people playing pipes(L) go up
to the mountain(M) of the Lord,
    to the Rock(N) of Israel.
