4At that time the ruler of Israel will stand

and take care of his people

with the Lord’s strength

and with the power of the name of the Lord his God.

The Israelites will live in safety,

because his greatness will reach all over the earth.

5He will bring peace.

Rescue and Punishment

Assyria will surely come into our country

and walk over our large buildings.

We will set up seven shepherds,

eight leaders of the people.

6They will destroy the Assyrians with their swords;

they will conquer the land of Assyria with their swords drawn.

They will rescue us from the Assyrians when they come into our land,

when they walk over our borders.

When the Assyrian comes into our land

and treads in our palaces,

then we will raise against him seven shepherds

and the land of Nimrod at its entrances;

and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian

when he comes into our land

and treads within our border.
