28 His breath is like an overflowing stream.
    It rises neck high,
        sifting the nations with a sieve of destruction,
            placing a bit in the mouths of the people
                to lead them astray.
29 You will sing a song
    like the song you sing on a festival night.
    Your hearts will be happy like someone going out with a flute
    on the way to Yahweh’s mountain, to the rock of Israel.
30 Yahweh will make his majestic voice heard.
    He will come down with all his might,
    with furious anger,
    with fire storms, windstorms, rainstorms, and hailstones.

    as on the night you celebrate a holy festival;(F)
your hearts will rejoice(G)
    as when people playing pipes(H) go up
to the mountain(I) of the Lord,
    to the Rock(J) of Israel.

with raging anger(M) and consuming fire,(N)
    with cloudburst, thunderstorm(O) and hail.(P)
