Isaiah 30:28

And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.

His breath, as an overflowing stream - (; .)

Shall reach to the midst of the neck - the most extreme danger. Yet as the head or capital of Judah was to he spared (), so the head or sovereign of Assyria, Sennacherib, should escape.

Sieve of vanity - the winnowing fan of destruction (Lowth). (.) A bridle in the jaws of the people - as prisoners are represented in the Assyrian inscriptions ().

Causing (them) to err - (.) "People" - Hebrew, peoples; namely, the various races composing the Assyrian armies ().
