27. Look! The Lord comes from far away.His anger is like a fire with thick clouds of smoke.His mouth is filled with anger,and his tongue is like a burning fire.
28. His breath is like a rushing river,which rises to the throat.He will judge the nations as if he is sifting them through the strainer of destruction.He will place in their mouths a bit that will lead them the wrong way.
29. You will sing happy songsas on the nights you begin a festival.You will be happy like people listening to flutesas they come to the mountain of the Lord,to the Rock of Israel.
30. The Lord will cause all people to hear his great voiceand to see his powerful arm come down with anger,like a great fire that burns everything,like a great storm with much rain and hail.
