[1]Now gatherH1413[H8704] thyself in troopsH1416, O daughterH1323 of troopsH1416: he hath laidH7760[H8804] siegeH4692 against us: they shall smiteH5221[H8686] the judgeH8199[H8802] of IsraelH3478 with a rodH7626 upon the cheekH3895.
[2]But thou, BethlehemH1035 EphratahH672, though thou be littleH6810 among the thousandsH505 of JudahH3063, yet out of thee shall he come forthH3318[H8799] unto me that is to be rulerH4910[H8802] in IsraelH3478; whose goings forthH4163 have been from of oldH6924, from everlastingH3117.[H5769]
[3]Therefore will he give them upH5414[H8799], until the timeH6256 that she which travailethH3205[H8802] hath brought forthH3205[H8804]: then the remnantH3499 of his brethrenH251 shall returnH7725[H8799] unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
[4]And he shall standH5975[H8804] and feedH7462[H8804] in the strengthH5797 of the LORDH3068, in the majestyH1347 of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430; and they shall abideH3427[H8804]: for now shall he be greatH1431[H8799] unto the endsH657 of the earthH776.
[5]And this man shall be the peaceH7965, when the AssyrianH804 shall comeH935[H8799] into our landH776: and when he shall treadH1869[H8799] in our palacesH759, then shall we raiseH6965[H8689] against him sevenH7651 shepherdsH7462[H8802], and eightH8083 principalH5257 menH120.
[6]And they shall wasteH7462[H8804] the landH776 of AssyriaH804 with the swordH2719, and the landH776 of NimrodH5248 in the entrancesH6607 thereof: thus shall he deliverH5337[H8689] us from the AssyrianH804, when he comethH935[H8799] into our landH776, and when he treadethH1869[H8799] within our bordersH1366.
[7]And the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 shall be in the midstH7130 of manyH7227 peopleH5971 as a dewH2919 from the LORDH3068, as the showersH7241 upon the grassH6212, that tarriethH6960[H8762] not for manH376, nor waitethH3176[H8762] for the sonsH1121 of menH120.
[8]And the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 shall be among the GentilesH1471 in the midstH7130 of manyH7227 peopleH5971 as a lionH738 among the beastsH929 of the forestH3293, as a young lionH3715 among the flocksH5739 of sheepH6629: who, if he go throughH5674[H8804], both treadeth downH7429[H8804], and teareth in piecesH2963[H8804], and none can deliverH5337.[H8688]
[9]Thine handH3027 shall be lifted upH7311[H8799] upon thine adversariesH6862, and all thine enemiesH341[H8802] shall be cut offH3772.[H8735]
[10]And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that I will cut offH3772[H8689] thy horsesH5483 out of the midstH7130 of thee, and I will destroyH6[H8689] thy chariotsH4818:
[11]And I will cut offH3772[H8689] the citiesH6145[H8676][H5892] of thy landH776, and throw downH2040[H8804] all thy strong holdsH4013:
[12]And I will cut offH3772[H8689] witchcraftsH3785 out of thine handH3027; and thou shalt have no more soothsayersH6049:[H8781]
[13]Thy graven imagesH6456 also will I cut offH3772[H8689], and thy standing imagesH4676 out of the midstH7130 of thee; and thou shalt no more worshipH7812[H8691] the workH4639 of thine handsH3027.
[14]And I will pluck upH5428[H8804] thy grovesH842 out of the midstH7130 of thee: so will I destroyH8045[H8689] thy citiesH6145[H8676].[H5892]
[15]And I will executeH6213[H8804] vengeanceH5359 in angerH639 and furyH2534 upon the heathenH1471, such as they have not heardH8085.[H8804]
