This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
5 Now come together in battle ranks, daughter of soldiers.
A siege has been set up against us.
They strike Yisrael’s judge on the cheek with a rod.
2 But you, Beyt-Lekem (Bethlehem) Efratah,
even though you’re insignificant among Yehudah’s (Judah’s) clans,
out of you, one will come to me to rule in Yisrael,
whose beginning is from ancient times—
3 Therefore God will hand them over to their enemies,
until the time when the woman in labour gives birth,
and the rest of his brothers return to the people of Yisrael.
4 He’ll stand and shepherd his flock with Yahweh’s strength,
in the majesty of the name of his god Yahweh.
They’ll remain, because then he will be famous to the ends of the earth.
When the Assyrians come into our land
≈ and when they march against our fortresses,
6 They’ll shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword—
≈ that country founded by Nimrod in its entrances.
He’ll rescue us from the Assyrians,
≈ when they march inside our borders.[ref]
7 The remnant of Yakob will end up among many peoples,
that don’t need help from any person,
≈ and they don’t rely on human intervention.
8 The remnant of Yakob will be among the nations,
like a lion among the animals of the forest,
≈ like a young lion among the flocks of sheep.
he’ll trample over them and tear them to pieces,
and there’ll be no one to save them.
9 You’ll use your power against your enemies,
10 Yahweh declares: “At that time,
11 I’ll destroy the cities in your country
≈ and tear down all your fortresses.
12 I’ll destroy the witchcraft that you practise,
≈ and you’ll no longer have any diviners.
13 I’ll destroy your carved statues,
≈ and the engraved stone pillars from among you.
You’ll no longer worship the workmanship of your hands.
14 I’ll topple your Asherah poles where you worship,
≈ and I’ll destroy your cities.
