Isaiah 30:28 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

28His 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.

28His breath is like an overflowing river,

Which reaches to the neck,

To shake the nations back and forth in a 30:28 Lit sifting of the worthlesssieve,

And to put in the jaws of the peoples the bridle which leads astray.

28His breath is like an overflowing torrent,

Which reaches to the neck,

To shake the nations back and forth in a sieve,

And to put in the jaws of the peoples the bridle which leads to ruin.

28His breath is like an overflowing river,

Which reaches to the neck,

To sift the nations back and forth in a sieve [of disaster],

And to put in the jaws of the peoples the bridle which leads to ruin.

28His breath is like a rushing torrent

that rises to the neck.

He comes to sift the nations in a sieve of destruction;

He bridles the jaws of the peoples to lead them astray.

28His breath will be like a rushing flood

that rises up to the neck.

He’ll separate out the nations he is going to destroy.

He’ll place a bit in their jaws.

It will lead them down the road to death.
