4 He will stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.They will dwell secure,because he will surely become great throughout the earth;
5 he will become one of peace.When Assyria invades our land and treads down our fortresses,then we will raise up against him seven shepherds and eight human princes.
6 They will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,the land of Nimrod with the drawn sword.He will rescue us from Assyriawhen he invades our landand treads within our territory.
7 Then the few remaining in Jacob will be amid many peopleslike dew from the Lord, like spring showers upon the grass,which does not hope for humans or wait for human ones.
8 Then the few remaining in Jacob will be among the nations,amid many peoples,like a lion among the creatures of the forest,like a young lion among flocksof sheep, which when it passes by, tramples and tears to pieceswith no one to deliver.
9 Your hand will be lifted over your foes;all your enemies will be cut off.
10 On that day—says the Lord—I will cut down your horses in your midst;I will destroy your chariots!
