Bible. Isaiah
23:030:027 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his
anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of
indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
23:030:028 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the
midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of
vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people,
causing them to err.
23:030:029 Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is
kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to
come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of
Israel.
23:030:030 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and
shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation
of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with
scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
23:030:031 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten
down, which smote with a rod.
23:030:032 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which
the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and
harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
23:030:033 For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is
prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is
fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of
brimstone, doth kindle it.
23:031:001 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on
horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in
horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto
the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
23:031:002 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call
back his words: but will arise against the house of the
evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
23:031:003 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses
flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his
hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen
shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.
23:031:004 For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and
the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of
shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid
of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so
shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and
for the hill thereof.
23:031:005 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem;
defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will
preserve it.
23:031:006 Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply
revolted.
