Isaiah 30:28

and His breath, as an overflowing stream, with all the impetous force of a spring fresher, shall reach to the midst of the neck, so that only his head extends above the division of waters, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity, the result of the Lord's sifting being nothingness, destruction; and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err, the reference being either to wild horses, which must be kept in subjection with force, or to the manner in which prisoners were sometimes fettered, the prisoners in either case being forced into destruction, as a just punishment upon them. Over against this destruction we have the deliverance of Israel, the people of God.
