6. Though you are such wicked rebels, my people, come and return to the lord.
7. I know the glorious day will come when each of you will throw away the gold idols and silver images your sinful hands have made.
8. “The Assyrians will be destroyed,but not by the swords of men.The sword of God will strike them,and they will panic and flee.The strong young Assyrianswill be taken away as captives.
9. Even the strongest will quake with terror,and princes will flee when they see your battle flags,”says the lord, whose fire burns in Zion,whose flame blazes from Jerusalem.
