And He will be their peace.

Those Who Fight Israel Are Judged

When the Assyrian comes into our land and crushes under foot our strong-places, we will fight against him with seven shepherds and eight leaders. They will rule the land of Assyria, the land of Nimrod, with the sword. And He will take us from the Assyrians when they come into our country and crush under foot our land.

Then the people who are left of Jacob will be among many people like water on the ground in the early morning from the Lord, like rain on the grass, which does not wait for man.

And he will be our peace(A)
    when the Assyrians invade(B) our land
    and march through our fortresses.
We will raise against them seven shepherds,
    even eight commanders,(C)
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,
    like showers on the grass,(I)
which do not wait for anyone
    or depend on man.
