Isaiah 31:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴ The Lord told me: “When a lion or its cub catches an animal to eat, the lion stands over the dead animal and roars, and nothing can frighten it away. If men come and yell at the lion, the lion will not be afraid. They might make a lot of noise, but the lion will not run away.”

In the same way, the Lord All-Powerful will come down to Mount Zion. He will fight on that hill. ⁵ Just as birds fly over their nest to protect it, so the Lord All-Powerful will defend^[a] Jerusalem. He will save her. He will “pass over” and save Jerusalem.

⁶ People of Israel, you should come back to the God you turned away from.
