Isaiah 31:4-9
4For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559 to me: “As the 1lionH743 or the youngH3715 lionH3715 growlsH1897 overH5921 his preyH2964, AgainstH5921 whichH834 a bandH4393 of shepherdsH7462 is calledH7121 outH7121, And he will not be terrifiedH2865 at their voiceH6963 norH3808 disturbedH6031 at their noiseH1995, SoH3651 will the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 comeH3381 downH3381 to wageH6633 2warH6633 on MountH2022 ZionH6726 and on its hillH1389.”5Like 3flyingH5774 4birdsH6833 soH3651 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 will protectH1598 JerusalemH3389. He will 5protectH1598 and saveH5337 it; He will passH6452 overH6452 and rescueH4422 it.
66ReturnH7725 to Him against whomH834 7you have been 8profoundlyH6009 obstinateH5627, you sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 7For on that dayH3117 everyH376 personH376 will 9rejectH3988 his silverH3701 idolsH457 and his goldH2091 idolsH457, whichH834 your handsH3027 have madeH6213 for you as 10a sinH2399.8And the 11AssyrianH804 will fallH5307 by a swordH2719 not wielded by a manH376, And a 12swordH2719 not of manH120 will devourH398 him. So he will 1314not escapeH5127 the swordH2719, And his youngH970 menH970 will becomeH1961 15forcedH4522 laborersH4522.9“His 16rockH5553 will passH5674 awayH5674 becauseH4480 of panicH4032, And his officersH8269 will be terrifiedH2865 by the 17flagH5251,” DeclaresH5002 the LordH3068, whoseH834 18fireH217 is in ZionH6726 and whose furnaceH8574 is in JerusalemH3389.
