4 For thus has the LORD spoken to me: As the lion, even the young lion, roars over his prey when a multitude of shepherds shout against him, is not afraid of their voice nor terrified by their multitude; so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion and for the hill thereof. 5 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts alight on Jerusalem; he shall alight to deliver, rescue, and help. 6 Repent, O children of Israel, for you have made your punishment severe. 7 For in that day every man shall despise the idols of gold and the idols of silver which your own hands have made for yourselves for a sin. 8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not with the sword of men; neither the sword of mighty men shall devour him; but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited. 9 And he shall dwell in his rocky habitation, and his princes shall be defeated from before the standard, says the LORD, whose fire is in Zion and his furnace in Jerusalem.
