And this one will be peace.
As for the Assyrian,[a] when he comes into our land
    and when he treads on our fortresses,
then we will raise up against him seven shepherds
    and eight leaders of men.
And they will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
    and the land of Nimrod at its entrances.
And he will rescue us from the Assyrian[b]
    when he comes into our land,
    and when they tread upon our border.

A Remnant Delivered

And the remnant of Jacob will be
    in the midst of many nations,
like dew from Yahweh,
    like showers upon the grass
which does not wait for a man,
    nor delays for the children of humankind.
