Isaiah 31:4-9
Amplified Bible
Isaiah 31:4-9
Amplified Bible
4 For so the Lord says to me,
“As the lion or the young lion growls over his prey,
And though a large group of shepherds is called out against him
He will not be terrified at their voice nor cringe at their noise,
So the Lord of hosts will come down to wage war on Mount Zion and on its hill.”
5
Like flying birds, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem;
He will protect and save it,
He will pass over and rescue it.
6 Return to Him from whom you have so deeply defected, O sons of Israel. 7 For in that day every man will reject and throw away his idols of silver and his idols of gold [in disgust], which your own hands have sinfully made for you.
8
Then the Assyrian will fall by a sword not of man,
And a sword not of man will devour him.
And he will flee from the sword [of God],
And his young men will become forced labor.
9
“His rock [his stronghold] will pass away because of panic,
And his princes will be terrified at the [sight of the battle] standard,”
Declares the Lord, whose fire is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
Isaiah 31:4-9
New International Version
Isaiah 31:4-9
New International Version
4 This is what the Lord says to me:
“As a lion(A) growls,
a great lion over its prey—
and though a whole band of shepherds(B)
is called together against it,
it is not frightened by their shouts
or disturbed by their clamor(C)—
so the Lord Almighty will come down(D)
to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.
5 Like birds hovering(E) overhead,
the Lord Almighty will shield(F) Jerusalem;
he will shield it and deliver(G) it,
he will ‘pass over’(H) it and will rescue it.”
6 Return,(I) you Israelites, to the One you have so greatly revolted(J) against. 7 For in that day(K) every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold(L) your sinful hands have made.(M)
8 “Assyria(N) will fall by no human sword;
a sword, not of mortals, will devour(O) them.
They will flee before the sword
and their young men will be put to forced labor.(P)
9 Their stronghold(Q) will fall because of terror;
at the sight of the battle standard(R) their commanders will panic,(S)”
declares the Lord,
whose fire(T) is in Zion,
whose furnace(U) is in Jerusalem.
