Isaiah 31:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ A time is coming when all of you will throw away the sinful idols you made out of silver and gold. ⁸ Assyria will be destroyed in war, but not by human power. The Assyrians will run from battle, and their young men will be made slaves. ⁹ Their emperor will run away in terror, and the officers will be so frightened that they will abandon their battle flags.” The Lord has spoken—the Lord who is worshiped in Jerusalem and whose fire burns there for sacrifices.
