Isaiah 30:17-19

New Century Version

¹⁷ One enemy will make threats,
    and a thousand of your men will run away.
Five enemies will make threats,
    and all of you will run from them.
You will be left alone like a flagpole on a hilltop,
    like a banner on a hill.
¹⁸ The Lord wants to show his mercy to you.
    He wants to rise and comfort you.
The Lord is a fair God,
    and everyone who waits for his help will be happy.
