    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)

    to the Rock^(N) of Israel.
³⁰ The Lord will cause people to hear his majestic voice^(O)
    and will make them see his arm^(P) coming down
with raging anger^(Q) and consuming fire,^(R)
    with cloudburst, thunderstorm^(S) and hail.^(T)
31 The voice of the Lord will shatter Assyria;^(U)
    with his rod he will strike^(V) them down.

    with an abundance of fire and wood;
the breath^(AA) of the Lord,
    like a stream of burning sulfur,^(AB)
    sets it ablaze.^(AC)
