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.
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).
2 tn Heb “the Lord will cause the splendor of his voice to be heard.”
3 tn Heb “and reveal the lowering of his arm.”
4 tn Heb “and a flame of consuming fire.”
