Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

The name of the Lord - i:e., Yahweh Himself (; ).

Cometh from far. He is represented as a storm approaching (), and ready to burst over the Assyrians ().

And the burden (thereof is) heavy. Or else, literally, grievousness is the flame - i:e., the flame which darts from Him is grievous. The Hebrew (massaah) means an uplifting, or mounting-up flame.
