26 Then the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun. The light of the sun will be seven times as strong, like the light of seven days. When that day comes, Yahweh will bandage his people’s injuries and heal the wounds he inflicted.

27 The name of Yahweh is going to come from far away.
    His anger is burning.
    His burden is heavy.
    His lips are filled with fury.
    His tongue is like a devouring flame.
28 His breath is like an overflowing stream.
    It rises neck high,
        sifting the nations with a sieve of destruction,
            placing a bit in the mouths of the people
                to lead them astray.

    with burning anger(D) and dense clouds of smoke;
his lips are full of wrath,(E)
    and his tongue is a consuming fire.(F)
28 His breath(G) is like a rushing torrent,(H)
    rising up to the neck.(I)

    he places in the jaws of the peoples
    a bit(K) that leads them astray.
