This One (A)will be our peace.
When the (B)Assyrian invades our land,
When he tramples on our [a]citadels,
Then we will raise against him
Seven shepherds and eight leaders of people.
They will (C)shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
The land of (D)Nimrod at its entrances;
And He will (E)rescue us from the Assyrian
When he invades our land,
And when he tramples our territory.

Then the (F)remnant of Jacob
Will be among many peoples
Like (G)dew from the Lord,
Like (H)showers on vegetation
That do not wait for man,
Or delay for [b]mankind.
