28 His breath will be like a rushing flood
    that rises up to the neck.
He’ll separate out the nations he is going to destroy.
    He’ll place a bit in their jaws.
    It will lead them down the road to death.
29 You will sing
    as you do on the night you celebrate a holy feast.
Your hearts will be filled with joy.
    You will be as joyful as people playing their flutes
as they go up to the mountain of the Lord.
    He is the Rock of Israel.
30 The Lord will cause people to hear his powerful voice.
    He will make them see his arm coming down to punish them.
It will come down with burning anger and destroying fire.
    It will come down with rain, thunderstorms and hail.

to the mountain(I) of the Lord,
    to the Rock(J) of Israel.
