5. As birds dying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and delivering, passing over and saving.
6. Return as you had deeply revolted, O children of Israel.
7. For in that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you to sin.
