King James Version
Now, O daughter of troops ,
mobilize
your
troops;
for
a
siege
is
laid against us !
With
a
rod
they will
strike
the
cheek
of
the judge of Israel.
Now gather
thyself
in
troops
, O daughter of troops :
he
hath
laid siege
against us :
they shall
smite
the judge of Israel with
a
rod
upon
the
cheek
.
But you
, Bethlehem Ephrathah
, who
are
small
among the clans
of Judah, out of you
will
come forth for
Me One
to be ruler over
Israel —
One
whose origins
are
of old, from the
days
of
eternity
.
But thou
, Bethlehem Ephratah
, though
thou
be
little
among the thousands
of Judah, yet
out of thee
shall
he
come forth unto
me that
is
to be ruler in
Israel ;
whose goings
forth
have
been
from
of old, from everlasting
.
Therefore Israel
will be
abandoned
until she who
is
in
labor
has
given
birth;
then the rest
of His brothers
will
return to
the children of Israel.
Therefore will he
give
them
up,
until the
time
that
she which
travaileth
hath
brought
forth:
then the remnant
of his brethren
shall
return unto
the children of Israel.
He will
stand and shepherd
His
flock
in the strength of the LORD, in the majestic
name of the LORD His God .
And they will
dwell
securely,
for then
His
greatness
will
extend
to
the ends of the earth.
And
he shall
stand and feed
in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty
of
the
name of the LORD his God ;
and they shall
abide:
for now
shall
he
be
great
unto
the ends of the earth.
And He
will
be our
peace when Assyria
invades
our land and tramples
our citadels.
We will
raise against it
seven shepherds, even
eight leaders
of
men.
And this
man
shall
be the
peace ,
when the
Assyrian
shall
come
into
our land :
and when
he
shall
tread
in
our palaces,
then
shall
we raise against him
seven shepherds, and
eight principal
men.
And they will
rule
the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with
the blade
drawn.
So
He will
deliver us when Assyria
invades
our land and marches
into
our borders.
And they shall
waste
the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in
the entrances
thereof:
thus
shall
he deliver us from
the
Assyrian,
when he
cometh
into
our land ,
and when
he
treadeth
within
our borders.
Then
the remnant of Jacob will
be in the midst of many peoples
like
dew from the LORD, like
showers on
the grass, which
do
not wait
for man or
linger
for mankind
.
And
the remnant of Jacob shall
be in the midst of many people
as
a
dew from the LORD, as
the
showers upon
the grass, that
tarrieth
not for man ,
nor
waiteth
for the
sons
of
men
.
Then
the remnant of Jacob will
be among the nations,
in the midst of many peoples,
like
a lion among the beasts of the forest, like
a young lion among flocks of sheep, which
tramples
and
tears
as
it
passes
through, with
no
one
to
rescue
them
.
And
the remnant of Jacob shall
be among the Gentiles
in the midst of many people
as
a lion among the beasts of the forest, as
a young lion among the
flocks of sheep :
who
, if
he
go
through, both
treadeth
down,
and
teareth
in
pieces,
and
none
can
deliver
.
Your
hand will
be lifted over
your
foes
, and all your
enemies will
be cut off.
Thine
hand shall
be lifted up
upon
thine
adversaries
, and all thine
enemies shall
be cut off.
“
In that day, ”
declares
the LORD, “
I will remove
your
horses from
among
you
and wreck
your
chariots .
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in that day, saith
the LORD, that
I will cut
off
thy
horses out
of
the
midst
of
thee,
and I
will
destroy
thy
chariots :
I will remove
the cities of your
land and tear
down all your
strongholds.
And
I will cut
off
the cities of thy
land ,
and throw
down all thy
strong
holds:
I will cut the
sorceries
from
your
hand ,
and you
will
have no fortune-tellers.
And
I will cut off
witchcrafts
out
of
thine
hand ;
and thou
shalt
have no more
soothsayers:
I
will
also cut off the
carved
images and sacred
pillars
from
among
you,
so
that
you
will
no longer
bow
down
to
the work of your
own
hands.
Thy
graven
images
also will
I
cut off ,
and
thy
standing
images out
of
the
midst
of
thee;
and thou
shalt
no more
worship
the work of thine
hands.
I will root
out the Asherah
poles
from
your
midst and
demolish
your
cities.
And
I will pluck
up
thy
groves
out of
the midst of
thee:
so
will
I
destroy
thy
cities.
I will take
vengeance in anger and wrath
upon the nations
that
have not obeyed
Me
. ”
And
I will execute
vengeance in anger and fury
upon the heathen,
such
as
they
have not heard
.
