*
Like birds hovering ,
so the LORD of hosts will protect Jerusalem ;
he will protect and deliver it ,
he will spare and rescue it .
*
Turn to him from whom you have deeply revolted ,
O people of Israel .
*
For in that day every one shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold ,
which your hands have sinfully made for you .
* "
And the Assyrian shall fall by a sword ,
not of man ;
and a sword ,
not of man ,
shall devour him ;
and he shall flee from the sword ,
and his young men shall be put to forced labor .
*
His rock shall pass away in terror ,
and his officers desert the standard in panic ,"
says the LORD ,
whose fire is in Zion ,
and whose furnace is in Jerusalem .
