God Will Protect Jerusalem

31Those who go to Egypt for help are doomed! They are relying on Egypt's vast military strength - horses, chariots, and soldiers. But they do not rely on the LORD, the holy God of Israel, or ask him for help.H1945H3381H4714H5833H8172H5483H982H7393H7227H6571H3966H6105H8159H6918H3478H1875H3068
2He knows what he is doing! He sends disaster. He carries out his threats to punish evil people and those who protect them.H2450H935H7451H5493H1697H6965H1004H7489H5833H6466H205
3The Egyptians are not gods - they are only human. Their horses are not supernatural. When the LORD acts, the strong nation will crumble, and the weak nation it helped will fall. Both of them will be destroyed.H4714H120H410H5483H1320H7307H3068H5186H3027H5826H3782H5826H5307H3615H3162
4The LORD said to me, "No matter how shepherds yell and shout, they can't scare away a lion from an animal that it has killed; in the same way, there is nothing that can keep me, the LORD Almighty, from protecting Mount Zion.H3068H559H738H3715H1897H2964H4393H7462H7121H2865H6963H6031H1995H3068H6635H3381H6633H2022H6726H1389
5Just as a bird hovers over its nest to protect its young, so I, the LORD Almighty, will protect Jerusalem and defend it."H6833H5774H3068H6635H1598H3389H1598H5337H6452H4422
6God said, "People of Israel, you have sinned against me and opposed me. But now, come back to me!H7725H1121H3478H6009H5627
7A time is coming when all of you will throw away the sinful idols you made out of silver and gold.H3117H376H3988H457H3701H457H2091H3027H6213H2399
8Assyria will be destroyed in war, but not by human power. The Assyrians will run from battle, and their young men will be made slaves.H804H5307H2719H376H2719H120H398H5127H6440H2719H970H4522
9Their emperor will run away in terror, and the officers will be so frightened that they will abandon their battle flags." The LORD has spoken - the LORD who is worshiped in Jerusalem and whose fire burns there for sacrifices.H5674H5553H4032H8269H2865H5251H5002H3068H217H6726H8574H3389
