'Us' in the Bible

“Quit your preaching,” they preach.“They should not preach these things;shame will not overtake us.”

Her leaders issue rulings for a bribe,her priests teach for payment,and her prophets practice divination for money.Yet they lean on the Lord, saying,“Isn’t the Lord among us?No disaster will overtake us.”

and many nations will come and say,“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,to the house of the God of Jacob.He will teach us about His waysso we may walk in His paths.”For instruction will go out of Zionand the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Many nations have now assembled against you;they say, “Let her be defiled,and let us feast our eyes on Zion.”

Now, daughter who is under attack,you slash yourself in grief;a siege is set against us!They are striking the judge of Israelon the cheek with a rod.

They will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,the land of Nimrod with a drawn blade.So He will rescue us from Assyriawhen it invades our land,when it marches against our territory.

He will again have compassion on us;He will vanquish our iniquities.You will cast all our sinsinto the depths of the sea.
