5 Like hovering birds,so the Lord of Hosts will protect Jerusalem —by protecting it, He will rescue it,by sparing it, He will deliver it.
6 Return to the One the Israelites have greatly rebelled against.
7 For on that day, every one of you will reject the silver and gold idols that your own hands have sinfully made.
8 Then Assyria will fall,but not by human sword;a sword will devour him,but not one made by man. He will flee from the sword;his young men will be put to forced labor.
9 His rock will pass away because of fear, and his officers will be afraid because of the signal flag. This is the Lord’s declaration — whose fire is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
