Isaiah 31:4-9

Isaiah 31:4-9

[4] For thus hath the LORD  spoken  unto me, Like as the lion  and the young lion  roaring  on his prey,  when a multitude  of shepherds  is called forth  against him, he will not be afraid  of their voice,  nor abase  himself for the noise  of them: so shall the LORD  of hosts  come down  to fight  for mount  Zion,  and for the hill  [5] As birds  flying,  so will the LORD  of hosts  defend  Jerusalem;  defending  also he will deliver  it; and passing over  he will preserve  [6] Turn  ye unto him from whom the children  of Israel  have deeply  revolted.  [7] For in that day  every man  shall cast away  his idols  of silver,  and his idols  of gold,  which your own hands  have made  unto you for a sin.  [8] Then shall the Assyrian  fall  with the sword,  not of a mighty man;  and the sword,  not of a mean man,  shall devour  him: but he shall flee  from  the sword,  and his young men  shall be discomfited.  [9] And he shall pass over  to his strong hold  for fear,  and his princes  shall be afraid  of the ensign,  saith  whose fire  is in Zion,  and his furnace  in Jerusalem.
