28. His breath is like a great river that rises until it reaches the throat. He will judge the nations as if putting them through a strainer that separates the ones fit for destruction. He will put a bit in their mouths to lead them to the place they don’t want to go.
29. You will sing happy songs, like the nights when you begin a festival. You will be very happy walking to the Lord’S mountain and listening to the flute on the way to worship the Rock of Israel.
30. The Lord will cause all people to hear his great voice and to see his powerful arm come down in anger. That arm will be like a great fire that burns everything. His power will be like a great storm with much rain and hail.
31. Assyria will be frightened by the Lord’S voice and the stick that will beat him.
32. And as the Lord beats Assyria, his people will keep the rhythm with their drums and harps.
