A Ruler from Bethlehem
- a siege he puts against us.
- They strike the ruler of Israel
- with a rod on the cheek.
- 2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, too small to be among the clans of Judah,
- from you one will go out for me,
- and his origins are from of old,
- from ancient days.
- 3 Therefore he will give them up until the time of she who is with child has given birth.
- And the rest of his brothers will return
- to the children of Israel.
- 4 And he will stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of Yahweh,
- in the majesty of the name of Yahweh his God.
- And they will live,
- for now he will be great unto the ends of the earth.
- 5 And this one will be peace. As for the Assyrian,[fn] when he comes into our land
- and when he treads on our fortresses,
- then we will raise up against him seven shepherds
- and eight leaders of men.
- 6 And they will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod at its entrances.
- And he will rescue us from the Assyrian[fn]
- when he comes into our land,
- and when they tread upon our border.
A Remnant Delivered
- 7 And the remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many nations,
- like dew from Yahweh,
- like showers upon the grass
- which does not wait for a man,
- nor delays for the children of humankind.
- 8 And the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples,
- like a lion among the wild animals of the forest,
- like a young lion among the herds of sheep
- which, when it passes through and treads down
- and tears in pieces, there is none who can deliver.
- 9 Your hand will be lifted high over your enemies, and all your foes will be cut off.
- 10 “And it will happen that in that day,” declares[fn] Yahweh, “then I will cut off your horses from among you,
- and I will destroy your chariots.
- 11 And I will cut off the cities of your land, and I will demolish all your fortifications.
- 12 And I will cut off sorceries from your hand, and you will not have soothsayers.
- 13 And I will cut off your idols and your stone pillars from among you,
- and you will no longer bow down
- to the work of your hands.
- 14 And I will uproot your Asherahs from among you, and I will destroy your cities.
- And in anger and in wrath I will execute vengeance
- on the nations who did not obey.”
