31 The voice of the Lord will shatter Assyria;(A)
    with his rod he will strike(B) them down.
32 Every stroke the Lord lays on them
    with his punishing club(C)
will be to the music of timbrels(D) and harps,
    as he fights them in battle with the blows of his arm.(E)
33 Topheth(F) has long been prepared;
    it has been made ready for the king.
Its fire pit has been made deep and wide,
    with an abundance of fire and wood;
the breath(G) of the Lord,
    like a stream of burning sulfur,(H)
    sets it ablaze.(I)

32 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the Lord shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.

33 For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
