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 songs
    as on the nights you begin a festival.
You will be happy like people listening to flutes
    as they come to the mountain of the Lord,
    to the Rock of Israel.

27 See, the Name(A) of the Lord comes from afar,
    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)
your hearts will rejoice(K)
    as when people playing pipes(L) go up
to the mountain(M) of the Lord,
    to the Rock(N) of Israel.
