Isaiah 31:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁸ The Lord says, “The Assyrians will be killed by swords.
    But the swords that kill them will not be used by human beings.
The Assyrians will run away from those swords.
    But their young men will be caught
    and forced to work hard.
⁹ Their hiding places will be destroyed
    when terror strikes them.
Their commanders will see their enemy’s battle flags.
    Then they will be filled with panic,”
    announces the Lord.
His fire blazes out from Mount Zion.
    His furnace burns in Jerusalem.
