and with the fork.
030:025 There shall be brooks and streams of water on every lofty mountain
and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter,
when the towers fall.
030:026 Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun,
and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter,
like the light of seven days, in the day that Yahweh binds
up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they
were struck with.
030:027 Behold, the name of Yahweh comes from far away, burning with
his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full
of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire.
030:028 His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to
the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction;
and a bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws
of the peoples.
030:029 You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept;
and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come
to Yahweh's mountain, to Israel's Rock.
030:030 Yahweh will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show
the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger,
and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast,
storm, and hailstones.
030:031 For through the voice of Yahweh the Assyrian will be dismayed.
He will strike him with his rod.
030:032 Every stroke of the rod of punishment, which Yahweh will lay
on him, will be with the sound of tambourines and harps.
He will fight with them in battles, brandishing weapons.
030:033 For his burning place has long been ready. Yes, for the king
it is made ready. He has made its pyre deep and large
with fire and much wood. Yahweh's breath, like a stream
of sulfur, kindles it.
031:001 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses,
and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen
because they are very strong, but they don't look to the Holy One
of Israel, and they don't seek Yahweh!
031:002 Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back
his words, but will arise against the house of the evil-doers,
and against the help of those who work iniquity.
031:003 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh,
and not spirit. When Yahweh stretches out his hand,
both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall,
and they all shall be consumed together.
031:004 For thus says Yahweh to me, "As the lion and the young lion
growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called
together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice,
nor abase himself for the noise of them, so Yahweh of Armies
will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
