4He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of Yahweh,in the majesty of the name of Yahweh his God.They will live, for then he will be great to the ends of the earth. 5He will be our peace when Assyria invades our landand when he marches through our fortresses,then we will raise against him seven shepherds,and eight leaders of men. 6They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword,and the land of Nimrod in its gates.He will deliver us from the Assyrian,when he invades our land,and when he marches within our border. 7The remnant of Jacob will be among many peopleslike dew from Yahweh,like showers on the grass,that don’t wait for mannor wait for the sons of men. 8The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,among many peoples,like a lion among the animals of the forest,like a young lion among the flocks of sheep;who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces,and there is no one to deliver.
