Isaiah 31:8-9
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 31:8-9
Contemporary English Version
8 The Assyrians will be killed,
but not by the swords
of humans.
Their young men will try
to escape,
but they will be captured
and forced into slavery.
9 Their fortress[a] will fall
when terror strikes;
their army officers
will be frightened
and run from the battle.
This is what the Lord has said,
the Lord whose fiery furnace
is built on Mount Zion.

at the sight of the battle standard(E) their commanders will panic,(F)”

whose fire(G) is in Zion,
