6 People of Israel, come back!You have completely turnedfrom the Lord.
7 The time is comingwhen you will throw awayyour idols of silver and gold,made by your sinful hands.
8 The Assyrians will be killed,but not by the swordsof humans.Their young men will tryto escape,but they will be capturedand forced into slavery.
9 Their fortress will fallwhen terror strikes;their army officerswill be frightenedand run from the battle.This is what the Lord has said,the Lord whose fiery furnaceis built on Mount Zion.
