    and He will be their peace.

The Remnant of Jacob Delivered

When Assyria enters our land
    and treads through our palaces,
then we will raise up against him seven shepherds
    and eight commanders of men.
They will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
    and the land of Nimrod at her gates;
He will rescue us from Assyria,
    when he enters our land
    and when he treads within our border.

Then the remnant of Jacob will be
    in the midst of many peoples,
like dew from the Lord,
    like showers upon the grass,
which do not wait for a man
    and do not linger for the sons of men.

who will rule[a] the land of Assyria with the sword,
    the land of Nimrod(D) with drawn sword.[b](E)
He will deliver us from the Assyrians
    when they invade our land
    and march across our borders.(F)

The remnant(G) of Jacob will be
    in the midst of many peoples
like dew(H) from the Lord,

which do not wait for anyone
    or depend on man.
