1 # Now gather <01413> (8704) thyself in troops <01416>, O daughter <01323> of troops <01416>: he hath laid <07760> (8804) siege <04692> against us: they shall smite <05221> (8686) the judge <08199> (8802) of Israel <03478> with a rod <07626> upon the cheek <03895>.
2 But thou, Bethlehem <01035> Ephratah <0672>, though thou be little <06810> among the thousands <0505> of Judah <03063>, yet out of thee shall he come forth <03318> (8799) unto me that is to be ruler <04910> (8802) in Israel <03478> ; whose goings forth <04163> have been from of old <06924>, from everlasting <03117> <05769>.
3 Therefore will he give them up <05414> (8799), until the time <06256> that she which travaileth <03205> (8802) hath brought forth <03205> (8804): then the remnant <03499> of his brethren <0251> shall return <07725> (8799) unto the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
4 And he shall stand <05975> (8804) and feed <07462> (8804) in the strength <05797> of the LORD <03068> , in the majesty <01347> of the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> his God <0430>; and they shall abide <03427> (8804): for now shall he be great <01431> (8799) unto the ends <0657> of the earth <0776>.
5 And this man shall be the peace <07965>, when the Assyrian <0804> shall come <0935> (8799) into our land <0776> : and when he shall tread <01869> (8799) in our palaces <0759>, then shall we raise <06965> (8689) against him seven <07651> shepherds <07462> (8802), and eight <08083> principal <05257> men <0120>.
6 And they shall waste <07462> (8804) the land <0776> of Assyria <0804> with the sword <02719>, and the land <0776> of Nimrod <05248> in the entrances <06607> thereof: thus shall he deliver <05337> (8689) us from the Assyrian <0804> , when he cometh <0935> (8799) into our land <0776>, and when he treadeth <01869> (8799) within our borders <01366>.
7 # And the remnant <07611> of Jacob <03290> shall be in the midst <07130> of many <07227> people <05971> as a dew <02919> from the LORD <03068>, as the showers <07241> upon the grass <06212>, that tarrieth <06960> (8762) not for man <0376>, nor waiteth <03176> (8762) for the sons <01121> of men <0120>.
8 And the remnant <07611> of Jacob <03290> shall be among the Gentiles <01471> in the midst <07130> of many <07227> people <05971> as a lion <0738> among the beasts <0929> of the forest <03293>, as a young lion <03715> among the flocks <05739> of sheep <06629>: who, if he go through <05674> (8804), both treadeth down <07429> (8804), and teareth in pieces <02963> (8804), and none can deliver <05337> (8688).
9 Thine hand <03027> shall be lifted up <07311> (8799) upon thine adversaries <06862>, and all thine enemies <0341> (8802) shall be cut off <03772> (8735).
10 And it shall come to pass in that day <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, that I will cut off <03772> (8689) thy horses <05483> out of the midst <07130> of thee, and I will destroy <06> (8689) thy chariots <04818>:
11 And I will cut off <03772> (8689) the cities <06145> (8676) <05892> of thy land <0776>, and throw down <02040> (8804) all thy strong holds <04013>:
12 And I will cut off <03772> (8689) witchcrafts <03785> out of thine hand <03027>; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers <06049> (8781):
13 Thy graven images <06456> also will I cut off <03772> (8689), and thy standing images <04676> out of the midst <07130> of thee; and thou shalt no more worship <07812> (8691) the work <04639> of thine hands <03027>.
14 And I will pluck up <05428> (8804) thy groves <0842> out of the midst <07130> of thee: so will I destroy <08045> (8689) thy cities <06145> (8676) <05892>.
15 And I will execute <06213> (8804) vengeance <05359> in anger <0639> and fury <02534> upon the heathen <01471>, such as they have not heard <08085> (8804).
