He will be their peace.(A)
When Assyria invades our land,(B)
when it marches against our fortresses,
we will raise against it seven shepherds,
even eight leaders of men.
They will shepherd(C) the land of Assyria with the sword,
the land of Nimrod(D) with a drawn blade.[a]
So he will rescue us(E) from Assyria
when it invades our land,
when it marches against our territory.

The Glorious and Purified Remnant

Then the remnant of Jacob(F)
will be among many peoples
like dew from the Lord,(G)
like showers on the grass,(H)
which do not wait for anyone
or linger for mankind.
