Topheth prepared with fire and much wood, the breath of the LORD like a stream of sulfur kindling it — reinforces the fire-and-sulfur torment 'prepared' for the wicked.
Medium confidenceTopheth prepared, 'a pyre of fire and wood... the breath of the LORD, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it' - the fire-and-sulfur (theion) lake into which the beast and false prophet are thrown (Rev 19:20). LXX theion link.
Medium confidenceTopheth prepared, 'the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone (theion), doth kindle it' — source for the fiery lake of burning/brimstone into which the devil is thrown; provides the burning-pile-of-fire-and-brimstone image.
Medium confidenceThe breath of the Lord kindling the pyre for the king (Topheth) parallels the breath that destroys the eschatological tyrant.
Low confidenceTopheth prepared with fire and a great pile of wood, kindled by the breath of the LORD, contributes to the fiery-judgment imagery behind Gehenna and 'everyone salted with fire.' The link reinforces the burning-judgment theme. Volume is modest beside Isaiah 66.
Low confidenceTopheth's burning pyre with the LORD's breath kindling it; contributes to the eternal-smoke imagery. Faint.
