Isaiah 31:2 (NLT) - 2 In his wisdom, the Lord will send great disaster; he will not change his mind. He will rise against the wicked and against their helpers.
Isaiah 31:3 (NLT) - 3 For these Egyptians are mere humans, not God! Their horses are puny flesh, not mighty spirits! When the Lord raises his fist against them, those who help will stumble, and those being helped will fall. They will all fall down and die together.
Isaiah 31:4 (NLT)
But this is what the LORD has told me:

stands growling over a sheep it has killed,
it is not frightened by the shouts and noise
of a whole crowd of shepherds.
In the same way, the LORD of Heaven's Armies
will come down and fight on Mount Zion.
Isaiah 31:5 (NLT)
The LORD of Heaven's Armies will hover over Jerusalem
and protect it like a B
bird protecting its nest.
He will defend and save the city;
he will pass over it and rescue it."

For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

Then the Assyrian shall fall by a sword not of man; and a sword, not of men [but of God], shall devour him. And he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be subjected to forced labor.
9 Even the strongest will quake with terror, and princes will flee when they see your battle flags,” says the LORD, whose fire burns in Zion, whose flame blazes from Jerusalem.
