Isaiah 31:6

Read in context

Isaiah 31:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 For this is what the LORD has said to me: “Like a lion roaring or a young lion over its prey— and though a band of shepherds is called out against it, it is not terrified by their shouting or subdued by their clamor— so the LORD of Hosts will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and its heights.

5 Like birds hovering overhead, so the LORD of Hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will shield it and deliver it; He will pass over it and preserve it.”

6 Return to the One against whom you have so blatantly rebelled, O children of Israel.

7 For on that day, every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold that your own hands have sinfully made.

8 “Then Assyria will fall, but not by the sword of man; a sword will devour them, but not one made by mortals. They will flee before the sword, and their young men will be put to forced labor.
