5 He will bring peace.Assyria will surely come into our countryand walk over our large buildings.We will set up seven shepherds,eight leaders of the people.
6 They will destroy the Assyrians with their swords;they will conquer the land of Assyria with their swords drawn.They will rescue us from the Assyrians when they come into our land,when they walk over our borders.
7 Then the people of Jacob who are left alivewill be to other peoplelike dew from the Lordor rain on the grass—it does not wait for human beings;it does not pause for any person.
8 Those of Jacob’s people who are left alivewill be scattered among many nations and peoples.They will be like a lion among the animals of the forest,like a young lion in a flock of sheep:As it goes, it jumps on themand tears them to pieces,and no one can save them.
9 So you will raise your fist in victory over your enemies,and all your enemies will be destroyed.
10 The Lord says, “At that time,I will take your horses from youand destroy your chariots.
11 I will destroy the cities in your countryand tear down all your defenses.
