Isaiah 31:7-9
Easy-to-Read Version
Isaiah 31:7-9
Easy-to-Read Version
7 That is because when those things happen, people will reject the gold and silver idols you made when you sinned against me.
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.

7 For in that day(A) every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold(B) your sinful hands have made.(C)
8 “Assyria(D) will fall by no human sword;
a sword, not of mortals, will devour(E) them.
They will flee before the sword
and their young men will be put to forced labor.(F)
9 Their stronghold(G) will fall because of terror;
at the sight of the battle standard(H) their commanders will panic,(I)”

whose fire(J) is in Zion,
