Isaiah 31:4-6
New Century Version
Isaiah 31:4-6
New Century Version
4 The Lord says this to me:
“When a lion or a lion’s cub kills an animal to eat,
it stands over the dead animal and roars.
A band of shepherds
may be assembled against it,
but the lion will not be afraid of their yelling
or upset by their noise.
So the Lord All-Powerful will come down
to fight on Mount Zion and on its hill.
5 The Lord All-Powerful will defend Jerusalem
like birds flying over their nests.
He will defend and save it;
he will ‘pass over’ and save Jerusalem.”
6 You children of Israel, come back to the God you fought against.

Isaiah 31:4-6
New International Version
4 This is what the Lord says to me:
“As a lion(A) growls,
a great lion over its prey—
and though a whole band of shepherds(B)
is called together against it,
it is not frightened by their shouts
or disturbed by their clamor(C)—
so the Lord Almighty will come down(D)
to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.
5 Like birds hovering(E) overhead,
the Lord Almighty will shield(F) Jerusalem;
he will shield it and deliver(G) it,
he will ‘pass over’(H) it and will rescue it.”
6 Return,(I) you Israelites, to the One you have so greatly revolted(J) against.
