Isaiah 31:5

Like birds hovering , so the Lord of hosts will protect Jerusalem ; he will protect and deliver it; he will spare and rescue it.

Like birds hovering overhead, the Lord Almighty will shield Jerusalem; he will shield it and deliver it, he will ‘pass over` it and will rescue it.”

As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
