Isaiah 31:8-9

Living Bible

⁸The Assyrians will be destroyed, but not by swords of men. The “sword of God” will smite them. They will panic and flee, and the strong young Assyrians will be taken away as slaves. ⁹Even their generals will quake with terror and flee when they see the battle flags of Israel, says the Lord. For the flame of God burns brightly in Jerusalem.

⁸“Assyria^(A) will fall by no human sword;
    a sword, not of mortals, will devour^(B) them.
They will flee before the sword
    and their young men will be put to forced labor.^(C)
⁹Their stronghold^(D) will fall because of terror;
    at the sight of the battle standard^(E) their commanders will panic,^(F)”
declares the Lord,

⁸“Then Assyria shall ^(A)fall by a sword not of man,
And a sword not of mankind shall ^(B)devour him.
But he shall flee from the sword,
And his young men shall become forced labor.

And his princes shall be afraid of the banner,”
Says the Lord,
Whose fire is in Zion
And whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
