Berean Standard Bible
Now gather
thyself
together
, O daughter of troops, A siege he
hath
laid against us ,
With a rod they smite
on
the cheek the judge of Israel.
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.
And
thou
, Beth-Lehem
Ephratah
, Little
to
be
among the chiefs
of Judah !
From
thee
to
Me
he
cometh
forth --
to be ruler in
Israel ,
And
his
comings
forth
`
are '
of old, From the days of antiquity
.
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
.
Therefore he
doth
give
them
out
till
the
time
She who bringeth
forth
hath
brought
forth,
And
the remnant
of his brethren
return to the sons
of Israel.
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.
And
he hath
stood
and delighted
in the strength of Jehovah
, In the excellency
of
the
name of Jehovah
his God ,
And they have
remained
, For now
he
is
great
unto
the ends of earth.
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 this
`one'
hath
been
peace ,
Asshur!
when he
doth
come
into
our land ,
And when
he
doth
tread
in
our palaces,
We have
raised
against him
seven shepherds, And
eight anointed
of man
.
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 they have
afflicted
the land of Asshur
with the sword, And the land of Nimrod at
its
openings,
And
he hath
delivered
from
Asshur
when he
doth
come
into
our land ,
And when
he
treadeth
in
our borders.
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
the remnant of Jacob hath
been
in the midst of many peoples ,
As
dew from Jehovah
--
as
showers on the herb
, That
waiteth
not for man ,
nor
stayeth
for the
sons
of
men
.
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
.
Yea,
the remnant of Jacob hath
been
among nations, In the midst of many peoples, As
a lion among beasts of a
forest, As
a young lion among ranks
of a
flock
, Which if
it hath
passed
through, Hath
both
trodden
down
and
hath
torn,
And
there
is
no deliverer
.
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
.
High
is
thy
hand above
thine
adversaries
, And all thine
enemies are
cut off.
Your
hand will
be
lifted
over
your
foes
, and all your
enemies will
be
cut off.
And
it
hath
come
to
pass
in that day, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, I have
cut
off
thy
horses from thy
midst,
And I
have
destroyed
thy
chariots ,
“
In that day, ”
declares
the
LORD
, “
I will
remove
your
horses from among
you
and wreck
your
chariots .
And
I have
cut
off
the cities of thy
land ,
And I
have
thrown
down all thy
fortresses,
I will
remove
the cities of your
land and tear
down all your
strongholds.
And
have
cut off
sorcerers
out
of
thy
hand, And observers
of
clouds
thou
hast
none
.
I
will
cut the
sorceries
from
your
hand, and you
will
have
no
fortune-tellers
.
And
I have
cut off thy
graven
images ,
And thy
standing-
pillars out
of
thy
midst
, And
thou
dost
not
bow thyself
any
more
To the work of thy
hands.
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.
And
I have
plucked
up
thy
shrines
out of
thy
midst ,
And I
have
destroyed
thine
enemies
.
I will
root
out the
Asherah
poles
from
your
midst and demolish
your
cities
.
And
I have
done
vengeance in anger and in
fury,
With
the nations who
have not hearkened!
I will
take
vengeance in anger and wrath
upon
the nations that
have not obeyed
Me.”
