Context of Isaiah 31:6
4For thus says Adonai to me: “As a lion or a young lion growls over its prey, though a company of shepherds is called out against him —their voice does not disturb him, nor does their noise upset him— so Adonai-Tzva’ot will come down to fight on Mount Zion, on its hill. 5Like hovering birds, so Adonai-Tzva’ot will protect Jerusalem. By protecting, He will deliver. By passing over, He will save.” Return to the One from whom rebellion is so deep, Bnei-Yisrael. 7For in that day everyone will cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which you made for yourselves with your hands of sin. 8“Then Assyria will fall, not by a sword of man, so a sword not of man will devour him and he will flee from the sword. His young men will be put to forced labor.
