~ The Lord Almighty Will Shield ~

This is what the Lord says to me:

"As a lion growls, a great lion over his prey --
and though a whole band of shepherds
is called together against him,
he is not frightened by their shouts
or disturbed by their clamor --
so the Lord Almighty will come down
to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.
Like birds hovering overhead,
the Lord Almighty will shield Jerusalem;
He will shield it and deliver it,
He will 'pass over' it and will rescue it.

Return to Him
you have so greatly revolted against, O Israelites.
For in that day every one of you
will reject the idols of silver and gold
your sinful hands have made.

(Isaiah 31:4-6)
