Isaiah 31:8-9
The Message
Isaiah 31:8-9
The Message
8-9 “Assyrians will fall dead,
killed by a sword-thrust but not by a soldier,
laid low by a sword not swung by a mortal.
Assyrians will run from that sword, run for their lives,
and their prize young men made slaves.
Terrorized, that rock-solid people will fall to pieces,
their leaders scatter hysterically.”
God’s Decree on Assyria.
His fire blazes in Zion,
his furnace burns hot in Jerusalem.
Isaiah 31:8-9
New International Version
Isaiah 31:8-9
New International Version
8 “Assyria(A) will fall by no human sword;
a sword, not of mortals, will devour(B) them.
They will flee before the sword
and their young men will be put to forced labor.(C)
9 Their stronghold(D) will fall because of terror;
at the sight of the battle standard(E) their commanders will panic,(F)”
declares the Lord,
whose fire(G) is in Zion,
whose furnace(H) is in Jerusalem.
The Message (MSG)
