They will devastate the land of Assyria with the sword—
even Nimrod’s land with a drawn blade.[a]
He will deliver us from Assyria,

The Remnant of Jacob

    in the midst of many peoples,
like dew from Adonai,
like abundant showers on grass
    that does not wait for a man,
    nor lingers for the sons of men.
For the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
    in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the forest beasts,
like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
who, if he passed through, would trample and tear to pieces,
    and there would be no deliverer.
