4. For thus has the Lord spoken unto me, Like the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, even if a multitude of shepherds come forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voices, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the Lord of the hosts come down to fight for Mount Zion and for his hill.
5. As birds flying, so will the Lord of the hosts defend Jerusalem; defending, delivering, passing over, and saving it.
6. Turn ye unto him against whom ye have deeply revolted, O sons of Israel.
7. For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you as a sin.
