5. This One will be our peace. When the Assyrian invades our land, When he tramples on our citadels, Then we will raise against him Seven shepherds and eight leaders of men.
6. They will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword, The land of Nimrod at its entrances; And He will deliver us from the Assyrian When he attacks our land And when he tramples our territory.
7. Then the remnant of Jacob Will be among many peoples Like dew from the Lord, Like showers on vegetation Which do not wait for man Or delay for the sons of men.
8. The remnant of Jacob Will be among the nations, Among many peoples Like a lion among the beasts of the forest, Like a young lion among flocks of sheep, Which, if he passes through, Tramples down and tears, And there is none to rescue.
9. Your hand will be lifted up against your adversaries, And all your enemies will be cut off.
10. "It will be in that day," declares the Lord, "That I will cut off your horses from among you And destroy your chariots.
11. "I will also cut off the cities of your land And tear down all your fortifications.
12. "I will cut off sorceries from your hand, And you will have fortune-tellers no more.
