Isaiah 31:8-9

International Standard Version

⁸ “Then Assyria will fall by a sword
    that is not from human beings only^[a]—
        a sword not wielded by mortal beings will devour them.
They will flee from the sword,
    and their young men will be put to forced labor.
⁹ Their stronghold will vanish by reason of terror,
    and their commanders will be filled with alarm
        because of the battle standard,”

declares the Lord, whose fire is in Zion
    and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
