Into the Fire

See, the Name of the Lord comes from afar, 

   with burning anger and dense clouds of smoke;

his lips are full of wrath,

   and his tongue is a consuming fire.

His breath is like a rushing torrent,

   rising up to the neck.

He shakes the nations in the sieve of destruction;

   he places in the jaws of the peoples

   a bit that leads them astray.

Isaiah 30:27-28 (NIV)
