以賽亞書 30：27-29
現代中文譯本（2019）
27 上主的大能和榮耀在遙遠地方都看得見。火和煙都顯示他的忿怒。他開口斥責；他的話像烈火。
28 他的氣像洪水，會使人沒頂；他要掃蕩列國，消滅它們的邪惡。
29 但是你們將歡樂歌唱，像朝聖者在過節的晚上那樣。你們將興奮地像朝聖者在笛聲中走上保衛以色列的上主的聖殿。
ESV
27 Behold, the name of the LORD comes from afar, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke; his lips are full of fury, and his tongue is like a devouring fire;
28 his breath is like 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 a bridle that leads astray.
29 You shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as when one sets out to the sound of the flute to go to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
《舊約-聖經背景註釋》
毀滅的篩籮
以色列人使用兩種不同的篩子，以達到不同的效果。kebara（摩九9）有很大的洞孔，工人前後搖動的時候，可以接住石頭與其他大的東西。本節經文的篩子是 napa，有小的洞孔，上下篩動，可以分出像谷類大小的東西。這是用在神的審判上一個非常好的隱喻。
