A Lion—like Aslan!—Except Less Cuddly
- God says, again, that people shouldn't be so impressed by Egypt or trying to make an alliance with them.
- They should put their trust in God, since he's spirit, and the Egyptian horses are only flesh.
- Both Egypt and Israel are going to be punished, both the helper and the helped.
- God will be like a lion, unperturbed by the shepherds who are yelling at it for attacking their herds.
- He will protect Jerusalem like a flock of birds hovering over Mount Zion, too.
- Also, he says that Israel really does need to turn back to God and stop worshipping idols which, in the end, they'll throw away.
- The Assyrians will be destroyed with God's sword, and their young men will be made into slaves.
- Also, God says that his fire and furnace are located in Jerusalem (you know, in case anyone happens to be in the market for some really quality heating).
