Isaiah 30:27-30

27 Behold, the name of the Lord comes from afar,
burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke; ^{▼▼Hebrew in weight of uplifted clouds}
his lips are full of fury,
and his tongue is like a devouring fire;
28 ^bhis breath is ^clike an overflowing stream
that reaches up to the neck;
to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction,
and to place on the jaws of the peoples ^da bridle that leads astray.
29 You shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, ^eas when one sets out to the sound of the flute to go to ^fthe mountain of the Lord, to ^gthe Rock of Israel. 30 And the Lord ^hwill cause his majestic voice to be heard and the descending blow of his arm to be seen, in furious anger ⁱand a flame of devouring fire, with a cloudburst ^jand storm and hailstones.

Nahum 1:2-6

God’s Wrath Against Nineveh

2 ^kThe Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
the Lord is avenging and wrathful;
^lthe Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries
and ^mkeeps wrath for his enemies.
3 ⁿThe Lord is slow to anger and ^ogreat in power,
and ^pthe Lord will by no means clear the guilty.
^qHis way is in whirlwind and storm,
and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 ^rHe rebukes the sea and makes it dry;
he dries up all the rivers;
^sBashan and ^tCarmel wither;
the bloom of ^uLebanon withers.
5 ^vThe mountains quake before him;
^wthe hills melt;
the earth heaves before him,
^xthe world and all who dwell in it.
6 ^yWho can stand before his indignation?
Who can endure the heat of his anger?
His wrath ^zis poured out like fire,
and ^aathe rocks are broken into pieces by him.
