Isaiah 31:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ The Lord said to me, “No matter how shepherds yell and shout, they can't scare away a lion from an animal that it has killed; in the same way, there is nothing that can keep me, the Lord Almighty, from protecting Mount Zion. ⁵ Just as a bird hovers over its nest to protect its young, so I, the Lord Almighty, will protect Jerusalem and defend it.”

⁶ God said, “People of Israel, you have sinned against me and opposed me. But now, come back to me!
