20. Though the Lord has given you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet He, your Teacher, will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes shall see your Teacher.
21. Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left.
22. You shall defile also your graven images overlaid with silver, and your molded images ornamented with gold. You shall scatter them as an impure thing, and say to them, “Be gone!”
23. Then He shall give you rain for the seed which you shall sow in the ground and bread of the increase of the earth. And it shall be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle shall feed in large pastures.
24. The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that work the ground shall eat cured fodder, which has been winnowed with the shovel and fork.
25. There shall be on every high mountain and on every high hill rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26. Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord binds up the breach of His people and heals the wound from His blow.
27. See, the name of the Lord comes from afar,burning with His anger, and its burden is heavy;His lips are full of indignation,and His tongue as a devouring fire.
28. And His breath is as an overflowing streamwhich reaches to the middle 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.
29. You shall have songs,as in the night when a festival is kept,and gladness of heart,as when one goes with a fluteto come into the mountain of the Lord,to the Mighty One of Israel.
30. The Lord shall cause His glorious voice to be heard,and shall show the descending of His armwith the indignation of His anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire,with scattering, and cloudburst, and hailstones.
31. For through the voice of the Lord the Assyrian shall be beaten downwhen He strikes with a rod.
32. And every blow of the rod of punishmentwhich the Lord shall lay on himshall be with tambourines and harps;and in battles, brandishing weapons, He will fight them.
33. For Topheth has been long prepared,indeed, for the king it has been prepared.He has made it deep and large,a pile of fire with much wood;the breath of the Lord,like a stream of brimstone,kindles it.
