“As birds hovering, so Yahweh of Armies will protect Jerusalem.He will protect and deliver it.He will pass over and preserve it.”
Isaiah 31:5 (WEB)
Context Reading
3Now the Egyptians are men, and not God;and their horses flesh, and not spirit.When Yahweh stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble,and he who is helped shall fall,and they all shall be consumed together. 4For Yahweh says to me,“As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey,if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him,will not be dismayed at their voice,nor abase himself for their noise,so Yahweh of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights. 5As birds hovering, so Yahweh of Armies will protect Jerusalem.He will protect and deliver it.He will pass over and preserve it.” 6Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel. 7For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold — sin which your own hands have made for you.
