And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord,
    in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great
    to the ends of the earth.

And this shall be peace,
    when the Assyrian comes into our land
    and treads upon our soil,[a]
that we will raise against him seven shepherds
    and eight princes of men;
they shall rule the land of Assyria with the sword,
    and the land of Nimrod with the drawn sword;[b]
and they[c] shall deliver us from the Assyrian
    when he comes into our land
    and treads within our border.
