So will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem.
Defending, He will also deliver it;
Passing over, He will preserve it.”
And a sword not of mankind shall bdevour him.
But he shall flee from the sword,
And his young men shall become forced labor.
And his princes shall be afraid of the banner,”
Says the Lord,
Whose fire is in Zion
And whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

Isaiah 31:7
For in that day - That is, in the invasion of Sennacherib, and the events that shalt be consequent thereon.
Every man shall cast away his idols - (see the note at Isaiah 30:22; compare the note at Isaiah 2:20).
For a sin - Or rather, the sin which your own hands have made. The sense is, that the making of those idols had been a sin, or sin itself. It had been "the" sin, by way of eminence, which was chargeable upon them.
