4 He will stand and shepherd [them] in the strength of Yahweh, in the majestic name of Yahweh His God. They will live securely, for then His greatness will extend to the ends of the earth.

5 There will be peace. When Assyria invades our land, when it marches against our fortresses, we will raise against it seven shepherds, even eight leaders of men.

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

8 Then the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, among many peoples, like a lion among animals of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, which tramples and tears as it passes through, and there is no one to rescue [them].

9 Your hand will be lifted up against your adversaries, and all your enemies will be destroyed.

10 In that day- the Lord's declaration- I will remove your horses from you and wreck your chariots.

11 I will remove the cities of your land and tear down all your fortresses.

12 I will remove sorceries from your hands, and you will not have any more fortune-tellers.

13 I will remove your carved images and sacred pillars from you, so that you will not bow down again to the work of your hands.

14 I will pull up the Asherah poles from among you and demolish your cities.

15 I will take vengeance in anger and wrath against the nations that have not obeyed [Me].
