Isaiah 31:5-7

Living Bible

^4-5 But the Lord has told me this: When a lion, even a young one, kills a sheep, he pays no attention to the shepherd’s shouts and noise. He goes right on and eats. In such manner the Lord will come and fight upon Mount Zion. He will not be frightened away! He, the Lord Almighty, will hover over Jerusalem as birds hover round their nests, and he will defend the city and deliver it.

⁶ Therefore, O my people, though you are such wicked rebels, come, return to God. ⁷ I know the glorious day will come when every one of you will throw away his gold idols and silver images—which in your sinfulness you have made.
