God Is Gracious and Just: BIBLE, New American Standard Bible == BIBLE-CENTRE

Isaiah, Chapter 30, verses 18-33

¹⁸

Therefore the LORD^slongs to be gracious to you,
And therefore He^twaits on high to have compassion on you.
For the LORD is a God of justice;
How blessed are all those who^ulong for Him.

¹⁹ ^vO people in Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. ²⁰ Although the Lord has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher. ²¹ Your ears will hear a word behind you, “^wThis is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left. ²² And you will defile your graven images overlaid with silver, and your molten images plated with gold. You will scatter them as an impure thing, and say to^xthem, “Be gone!”

²³ Then He will give you rain for^ythe seed which you will sow in the ground, and bread from the yield of the ground, and it will be^zrich and^aaplenteous; on that day your livestock will graze in a roomy pasture. ²⁴ Also the oxen and the donkeys which work the ground will eat salted fodder, which^abhas been winnowed with shovel and fork. ²⁵ On every lofty mountain and on every high hill there will be^acstreams running with water on the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. ²⁶ The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, on the day the LORD binds up the fracture of His people and heals the bruise^adHe has inflicted.

²⁷

Behold, the name of the LORD comes from a^aeremote place;
Burning is His anger and^afdense is His^agsmoke;
His lips are filled with indignation
And His tongue is like a consuming fire;

²⁸

His breath is like an overflowing torrent,
Which reaches to the neck,
To shake the nations back and forth in a^ahsieve,
And to put in the jaws of the peoples the bridle which^aileads to ruin.

²⁹

You will have^ajsongs as in the night when you keep the festival,
And gladness of heart as when one marches to the sound of the flute,
To go to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.

³⁰

And the LORD will cause^akHis voice of authority to be heard,
And the^aldescending of His arm to be seen in fierce anger,
And in the flame of a consuming fire
In cloudburst, downpour and hailstones.

³¹

For at the voice of the LORD Assyria will be terrified,
When He strikes with the rod.

³²

And every^amblow of the^anrod of punishment,
Which the LORD will lay on him,
Will be with the music of tambourines and lyres;
And in battles, brandishing weapons, He will fight them.

³³

For^aoTopheth has long been ready,
Indeed, it has been prepared for the king.
He has made it deep and large,
^apA pyre of fire with plenty of wood;
The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of brimstone, sets it afire.
