5. [5:4] And this shall be Shalom. When the Assyrian shall invade our land; and when he shall set foot on our armenot (citadels), then shall we raise against him shivah ro'im (seven shepherds), and shmoneh nesikhei adam (eight leaders [tribal princes] of men).
6. [5:5] And they shall shepherd Eretz Ashur (Assyria) with the cherev, and Eretz Nimrod at its gates; thus shall He [Moshiach] deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he sets foot within our borders.
7. [5:6] And the She'erit Ya'akov shall be in the midst of many people like tal (dew) from Hashem, like the showers upon the grass, that doth not await man's bidding, nor tarry for the bnei adam.
8. [5:7] And the She'erit Ya'akov shall be among the Goyim in the midst of many people like an aryeh among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among the edrei tzon (flocks of sheep); who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
9. [5:8] Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and kol oyvecha (all thine enemies) shall be cut off.
10. [5:9] And it shall come to pass in Yom HaHu, saith Hashem, that I will cut off thy susim out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy merkavot (chariots);
11. [5:10] And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy mivtzarim (fortresses);
12. [5:11] And I will cut off keshafim (witchcrafts) out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more sorcerers;
13. [5:12] Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy sacred pillars out of the midst of thee; and lo tishtachaveh (thou shalt no more bow down to, worship) the work of thine hands.
14. [5:13] And I will pluck up thy Asherim (i.e., sacred poles of the Asherah cult of Canaan) out of the midst of thee; so will I destroy thy cities.
15. [5:14] And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the Goyim that were without mishma'at (obedience).
