(35) Jes.30:26-33
"26 En die lig van die maan sal wees soos die lig van die son, en die lig van die son sal sewevoudig wees, soos die lig van sewe dae, op die dag as die HERE die breuk van sy volk verbind en die wond gesond maak wat aan hulle geslaan is. 27 Kyk, die Naam van die HERE kom van ver af, sy toorn brand, swaar wolke kom op; sy lippe is vol grimmigheid en sy tong soos 'n verterende vuur, 28 en sy asem soos 'n oorlopende stroom wat tot by die nek kom — om nasies te sif met 'n sif van vernietiging; en 'n toom wat verkeerd stuur, is in die kakebene van die volke. 29 Die lied sal by julle wees soos in die nag as die fees gevier word, en julle sal vrolik wees van hart soos die wat met die fluite loop, om te kom op die berg van die HERE, na die Steenrots van Israel. 30 En die HERE sal sy stem vol majesteit laat hoor en die neerdaling van sy arm laat sien, met grimmige toorn en die vlam van 'n verterende vuur, storm en stortreën en haelkorrels. 31 Want vir die stem van die HERE sal Assur verskrik wees; met die stok sal Hy slaan, 32 en elke swaai van die roede wat vir hom beskik is, wat die HERE op hom laat val, sal wees onder begeleiding van tamboeryn en sitermusiek, en met 'n uitgeswaaide vegtersarm sal Hy teen hulle veg. 33 Want 'n Tofet is van gister af gereedgemaak, ook is dit vir die koning berei; diep en wyd het Hy die houtstapel daarvan aangelê met vuur en hout in menigte; die asem van die HERE is soos 'n stroom van swawel wat dit aan die brand steek."
"Moreover, the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day when the Lord binds up the brokenness of his people, and heals the wounds inflicted by his blow.
Behold, the name of the Lord comes from afar,
burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke;
his lips are full of fury,
and his tongue is like a devouring fire;
his breath is like an overflowing stream
that reaches up to the neck;
to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction,
and to place on the jaws of the peoples a bridle that leads astray.
You shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as when one sets out to the sound of the flute to go to the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel. And the Lord will cause his majestic voice to be heard and the descending blow of his arm to be seen, in furious anger and a flame of devouring fire, with a cloudburst and storm and hailstones. The Assyrians will be terror-stricken at the voice of the Lord, when he strikes with his rod. And every stroke of the appointed staff that the Lord lays on them will be to the sound of tambourines and lyres. Battling with brandished arm, he will fight with them. For a burning place has long been prepared; indeed, for the king it is made ready, its pyre made deep and wide, with fire and wood in abundance; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it."
