Isaiah 31:8-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁸ It is true that Assyria will be defeated with a sword, but it will not be a human sword that defeats him. Assyria will be destroyed, but that destruction will not come from a man’s sword. Assyria will run away from God’s sword, but the young men will be caught and made slaves. ⁹ Their place of safety will be destroyed. Their leaders will be defeated, and they will abandon their flag.

The Lord, whose fireplace is on Zion and whose oven^[a] is in Jerusalem, is the one who said this.
