Isaiah 31:4-9

4ForH3588 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 has saidH559 to meH413:

“LikeH834 a lionH738 roaringH1897or a young lionH3715 overH5921 its preyH2964—and thoughH834 a bandH4393 of shepherdsH7462 is called outH7121 against itH5921,it is notH3808 terrifiedH2865 by their shoutingH6963or subduedH6031 by their clamorH1995 H3808—soH3651 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 will come downH3381to do battleH6633 onH5921 MountH2022 ZionH6726 and its heightsH1389.5Like birdsH6833 hovering overheadH5774,soH3651 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 H5921 will protectH1598 JerusalemH3389.He will shield itH1598 and deliver itH5337;He will pass over itH6452 and preserve itH4422.”

6ReturnH7725 to the OneH834 against whom you have so blatantlyH6009 rebelledH5627, O childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 7ForH3588 on thatH1931 dayH3117, every oneH376 of you will rejectH3988 the idolsH457 of silverH3701 H457 and goldH2091 thatH834 your own handsH3027 have sinfullyH2399 madeH6213.

8“Then AssyriaH804 will fallH5307,but notH3808 by the swordH2719 of manH376;a swordH2719 will devour themH398,but notH3808 one made by mortalsH120.They will fleeH5127 beforeH6440 the swordH2719,and their young menH970 will be putH1961 to forced laborH4522.9Their rockH5553 will pass awayH5674 for fearH4032,and their princesH8269 will panicH2865 at the sight of the battle standardH5251,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, whoseH834 fireH217 is in ZionH6726,whose furnaceH8574 is in JerusalemH3389.
