Isaiah 31:4-6

International Children’s Bible

“When a lion or a lion’s cub kills an animal to eat,
    it stands over the dead animal and roars.
A band of shepherds
    may be assembled against it.
But the lion will not be afraid of their yelling.
    It will not be upset by their noise.
So the Lord of heaven’s armies will come down
    to fight on Mount Zion and on its hill.
⁵ The Lord of heaven’s armies will defend Jerusalem.
    He will defend it like birds flying over their nests.
He will defend and save it.
    He will ‘pass over’ and save Jerusalem.”
