Isaiah 31:5-7
International Standard Version
5 Like birds hovering overhead,
so the Lord of the Heavenly Armies will protect Jerusalem;
he will shield and deliver it;
and[a] he will pass over[b] and bring it to safety.[c]
6 Turn back to him, yes to him whom[d] your people[e] have so greatly betrayed, you people of Israel. 7 For at that time,[f] everyone will throw away their[g] idols of silver and their[h] idols of gold that your hands have sinfully made for yourselves.
