Yesaya 30:29-30

30:29 You will sing

as you do in the evening when you are celebrating a festival.

You will be happy like one who plays a flute

as he goes to the mountain of the Lord, the Rock who shelters Israel. ¹ 

30:30 The Lord will give a mighty shout ² 

and intervene in power, ³ 

with furious anger and flaming, destructive fire, ⁴ 

with a driving rainstorm and hailstones.

[30:29]  ¹ tn Heb “[you will have] joy of heart, like the one going with a flute to enter the mountain of the Lord to the Rock of Israel.” The image here is not a foundational rock, but a rocky cliff where people could hide for protection (for example, the fortress of Masada).

[30:30]  ² tn Heb “the Lord will cause the splendor of his voice to be heard.”

[30:30]  ³ tn Heb “and reveal the lowering of his arm.”

[30:30]  ⁴ tn Heb “and a flame of consuming fire.”
