5 Every boot that shakes the earth as it marches

And every garment soaked in blood

Will become fuel for the fire.

27 Look! The name of Jehovah is coming from far away,

Burning with his anger and with heavy clouds.

His lips are full of indignation,

And his tongue is like a consuming fire.+

 8 And the As·syrʹi·an will fall by the sword, not of a man;

And a sword, not of a human, will devour him.+

He will flee because of the sword,

And his young men will be put to forced labor.

 9 His crag will pass away because of sheer fright,

And his princes will be terrified because of the signal pole,” declares Jehovah,

Whose light* is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

His wrath will be poured out like fire,

And the rocks will be shattered because of him.
