Context — God Will Be Gracious
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.
29You will sing as on the night of a holy festival, and your heart will rejoice like one who walks to the music of a flute, going up to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
30And the LORD will cause His majestic voice to be heard and His mighty arm to be revealed, striking in angry wrath with a flame of consuming fire, and with cloudburst, storm, and hailstones.
31For Assyria will be shattered at the voice of the LORD; He will strike them with His scepter. 32And with every stroke of the rod of punishment that the LORD brings down on them, the tambourines and lyres will sound as He battles with weapons brandished.Cross References

Isaiah 30:30 Summary
[This verse describes a powerful and awe-inspiring scene where God's voice will be heard and His mighty arm will be revealed, bringing judgment and wrath upon those who oppose Him, as seen in Psalm 2:5-6. The flame of consuming fire and the cloudburst, storm, and hailstones represent the destructive power of God's judgment.

The flame of consuming fire represents God's judgment and wrath, as seen in Isaiah 10:16-17, where it is used to describe the destruction of God's enemies, and also in Revelation 20:15, where it describes the final judgment of those whose names are not written in the Book of Life.

- What are some ways that I can prepare myself for the day when God's mighty arm will be revealed, and His judgment will be poured out upon the earth?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 30:30
And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 30:30
His glorious voice; his thunder, which is Called God’ s voice, and said to be full of majesty, . But then thunder is metaphorically taken for some terrible judgment, as it is in many places of Scripture. The lightning down of his arm upon the Assyrian, whom he will smite with a deadly blow in the face of the world. The phrase is taken from the gesture of a man who is about to smite another, who first lifts up his hand, and then lets it fall with great force upon him whom he designs to strike. With the indignation of his anger; with great wrath; which is signified by the heaping of so many words of the same signification together.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 30:30
Isaiah 30:30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his] anger, and [with] the flame of a devouring fire, [with] scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.Ver. 30. And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice.] Hence some gather that Sennacherib’ s soldiers were destroyed by the angel, not without a mighty storm and tempest, accompanied with dreadful thunder and lightning. See the like threatened to all wicked ones, Job 27:20-22.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 30:30
(30) And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice . . .—The peace and joy at home are contrasted with the judgments that fall on the enemies of Israel. They are exposed to the full thunderstorm of the wrath of Jehovah. “Hailstones and coals of fire” were the natural symbols of His anger.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 30:30
Verse 30. The Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard] Kimchi understands this of the great destruction of the Assyrian host by the angel of the Lord. Instead of בזעף אץ bezaaph ats, "with swift anger," five of Dr. Kennicott's MSS. and one of my own, read בזעם אף bezaam aph, "with detestation indignant." For אץ ats, "swift," which is the common reading, forty-two of Kennicott's, forty-three of De Rossi's, and two of my own, have אף aph, "wrath or fury." The former reading, אץ ats, is not found in any Bible previously to that of Van der Hooght, in 1705; and there it seems to be a typographical mistake.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 30:30
30. his glorious voice] Perhaps: the majesty of His thunder (Psalms 29:3 ff.). the lighting down] The word probably comes from the (Aramaic) verb used in Psalms 38:2. It may, however, be derived from the verb “to rest,” the causative of which is rendered “lay upon” in Isaiah 30:32. with the indignation of his anger] with furious anger. scattering] R.V. a blast. The word does not occur elsewhere; it is probably a poetic name for a storm. For tempest read rain storm.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 30:30
And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard - That is, he would give command to destroy them. They could not fail to recognize his voice, and to feel that it was accomplished by him.
