4. For thus saith the Lord to me: Like as the lion roareth, and the lion's whelp upon his prey, and when a multitude of shepherds shall come against him, he will not fear at their voice, nor be afraid of their multitude: so shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight upon mount Sion, and upon the hill thereof.
5. As birds dying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and delivering, passing over and saving.
6. Return as you had deeply revolted, O children of Israel.
7. For in that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you to sin.
8. And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword not of a man, and the sword not of a man shall devour him, and he shall flee not at the face of the sword: and his young men shall be tributaries.
9. And his strength shall pass away with dread, and his princes fleeing shall be afraid: the Lord hath said it, whose die is in Sion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
