Isaiah 31:4-9

4For thusH3541 saith Jehovah unto me, As the lionH738 and the youngH3715 lionH738 growling over his preyH2964, if a multitudeH1995 of shepherdsH7462 be calledH7121 forth against him, will not be dismayedH2865 at their voiceH6963, nor abase himself for the noise of them: soH3651 will Jehovah of hostsH6635 comeH3381 down to fight upon mount ZionH6726, and upon the hillH2022 thereof. 5As birdsH6833 hovering, soH3651 will Jehovah of hostsH6635 protect JerusalemH3389; he will protect and deliverH5337 it, he will pass over and preserve it. 6TurnH7725 ye unto him from whom ye have deeply revolted, O children of IsraelH3478. 7For in that dayH3117 they shall cast away every manH376 his idolsH457 of silverH3701, and his idolsH457 of goldH2091, which your own handsH3027 have madeH6213 unto you for a sinH2399. 8And the Assyrian shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, not of manH376; and the swordH2719, not of menH376, shall devourH398 him; and he shall fleeH5127 from the swordH2719, and his youngH970 menH376 shall becomeH1961 subject to taskwork. 9And his rockH5553 shall passH5674 awayH5674 by reason of terrorH4032, and his princesH8269 shall be dismayedH2865 at the ensign, saith Jehovah, whose fireH217 is in ZionH6726, and his furnaceH8574 in JerusalemH3389.
