Isaiah 31:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴ The Lord All-Powerful
    said to me,
“I will roar and attack
    like a fearless lion
not frightened by the shouts
of shepherds trying to protect
    their sheep.
That's how I will come down
    and fight on Mount Zion.
⁵ I, the Lord All-Powerful,
    will protect Jerusalem
like a mother bird circling
    over her nest.”
