1 Now mobilize your troops, O daughter of a troop! A siege he has laid against us; with a rod they will strike on the cheek the judge of Israel. 2 And you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the thousands of Judah: From you will come forth unto Me One to be Ruler in Israel, and his goings forth are of old, from everlasting. 3 Therefore He will give them up, until the time the one giving birth has given birth; and the remnant of his brothers will return to the sons of Israel. 4 And he will stand and pasture them in the strength of YHWH, in the majesty of the name of YHWH his God; and they will dwell securely, for now he will be great as far as the ends of the earth. 5 And this one will be our peace. When Assyria comes into our land and treads in our citadels, we will raise against him seven shepherds, and eight princes of mankind. 6 And they will shepherd against the land of Assyria with the sword, and against the land of Nimrod at its entrances; and He will deliver us from Assyria, when he comes into our land, and treads within our borders.
