Isaiah 31:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible

The Lord will keep his people safe

4 This is what the Lord said to me:

‘The Lord Almighty will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its hill. He will come like a strong young lion that roars when it has caught a lamb to eat. Even if a whole crowd of shepherds come to chase it away, their shouts will not make the lion afraid.[a] 5 The Lord Almighty will make Jerusalem safe. He will protect it like a bird that protects its nest. He will pass over the city and he will rescue it.[b]

6 Israelite people, you have turned completely against the Lord. Now turn back to him!
