WMBB (Same as above)

MSG(5-6)And if some bullying Assyrian shows up,
  invades and violates our land, don’t worry.
We’ll put him in his place, send him packing,
  and watch his every move.
Shepherd-rule will extend as far as needed,
  to Assyria and all other Nimrod-bullies.
Our shepherd-ruler will save us from old or new enemies,
  from anyone who invades or violates our land.

NETHe will give us peace.
 ⇔ Should the Assyrians try to invade our land
 ⇔ and attempt to set foot in our fortresses,

LSVAnd this [One] has been peace. Asshur, when he comes into our land,
And when he treads in our palaces,
We have raised against him seven shepherds,
And eight anointed of man.

FBVHe will be our source of peace when the Assyrians invade our land and destroy our fortresses. Then we will appoint many strong leaders,[fn]


5:5 Literally, “seven shepherds and eight leaders.” The numbers are not considered of particular significance; they simply indicate there would be sufficient for the situation.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

5:5 The Assyrians destroyed northern Israel in 722 BC. Sennacherib shut up King Hezekiah of Jerusalem “like a bird in a cage” (Sennacherib’s own words) in 701 BC and devastated over forty-six cities in Judah. The hoped-for deliverer-king did not appear in those days. The Assyrians represent all of Israel’s enemies.
• seven rulers . . . eight princes: This literary expression indicates that an abundance of leaders will be supplied as needed to lead Israel.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) seven shepherds and eight leaders over men

(Some words not found in UHB: and,shepherd DOM earth/land Assyria in/on/at/with,sword and=DOM earth/land Nimrod in/on/at/with,entrances,its and,rescue from,Assyrian that/for/because/then/when invades in/on/at/with,land,our and=because/when marches in/on/at/with,border,our )

Here “shepherds” is a metonym for “rulers,” another way of saying “leaders over men.” Alternate translation: “enough, even more than enough, rulers”
