Isaiah 31:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³The Egyptians are only people and are not God.
    Their horses are only animals and are not spirit.
The Lord will stretch out his arm,
    and the one who helps will stumble.
    The people who wanted help will fall.
    All of them will be destroyed together.

⁴The Lord says this to me:

“When a lion or a lion’s cub kills an animal to eat,
    it stands over the dead animal and roars.
A band of shepherds
    may be assembled against it.
But the lion will not be afraid of their yelling.
    It will not be upset by their noise.
So the Lord of heaven’s armies will come down
    to fight on Mount Zion and on its hill.
⁵The Lord of heaven’s armies will defend Jerusalem.
    He will defend it like birds flying over their nests.
He will defend and save it.
    He will ‘pass over’ and save Jerusalem.”
