NowH6258 gatherH1413 yourself in troops,H1413 O daughterH1323 of troops:H1416 he has laidH7760 siegeH4692 againstH5921 us: they shall smiteH5221 the judgeH8199 of IsraelH3478 with a rodH7626 on the cheek.H3895
2
But you, BethlehemH1035 Ephratah,H672 though you be littleH6810 among the thousandsH505 of Judah,H3063 yet out of you shall he comeH3318 forthH3318 to me that is to be rulerH4910 in Israel;H3478 whose goingsH4163 forthH4163 have been from of old,H6924 from everlasting.H5769
3
ThereforeH3651 will he giveH5414 them up, untilH5704 the timeH6256 that she which travailsH3205 has broughtH3205 forth:H3205 then the remnantH3499 of his brothersH251 shall returnH7725 to the childrenH1121 of Israel.H3478
4
And he shall standH5975 and feedH7462 in the strengthH5797 of the LORD,H3068 in the majestyH1347 of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 his God;H430 and they shall abide:H3427 for nowH6258 shall he be greatH1431 to the endsH657 of the earth.H776
5
And thisH2088 man shall be the peace,H7965 whenH3588 the AssyrianH804 shall comeH935 into our land:H776 and whenH3588 he shall treadH1869 in our palaces,H759 then shall we raiseH6965 againstH5921 him sevenH7651 shepherds,H7462 and eightH8083 principalH5257 men.H120
6
And they shall wasteH7489 the landH776 of AssyriaH804 with the sword,H2719 and the landH776 of NimrodH5248 in the entrancesH6607 thereof: thus shall he deliverH5337 us from the Assyrian,H804 whenH3588 he comesH935 into our land,H776 and whenH3588 he treadsH1869 within our borders.H1366
7
And the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 shall be in the middleH7130 of manyH7227 peopleH5971 as a dewH2919 from the LORD,H3068 as the showersH7241 on the grass,H6212 that tarriesH6960 not for man,H376 norH3808 waitsH3176 for the sonsH1121 of men.H120
8
And the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 shall be among the GentilesH1471 in the middleH7130 of manyH7227 peopleH5971 as a lionH738 among the beastsH929 of the forest,H3293 as a youngH3715 lionH3715 among the flocksH5739 of sheep:H6629 who,H834 ifH518 he goH5674 through,H5674 both treadsH7429 down, and tearsH2963 in pieces, and noneH369 can deliver.H5337
9
Your handH3027 shall be liftedH7311 up on your adversaries,H6862 and all your enemiesH341 shall be cutH3772 off.
10
And it shall comeH1961 to pass in that day,H3117 saidH5002 the LORD,H3068 that I will cutH3772 off your horsesH5483 out of the middleH7130 of you, and I will destroyH6 your chariots:H4818
11
And I will cutH3772 off the citiesH5892 of your land,H776 and throwH2040 downH2040 allH3605 your strongH4013 holds:H4013
12
And I will cutH3772 off witchcraftsH3785 out of your hand;H3027 and you shall haveH1961 noH3808 more soothsayers:H6049
13
Your gravenH6456 imagesH4676 also will I cutH3772 off, and your standingH4676 images out of the middleH7130 of you; and you shall noH3808 moreH5750 worshipH7812 the workH4639 of your hands.H3027
14
And I will pluckH5428 up your grovesH842 out of the middleH7130 of you: so will I destroyH8045 your cities.H5892
15
And I will executeH6213 vengeanceH5359 in angerH639 and furyH2534 on the heathen,H1471 such as they have not heard.H8085
