⁵ He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land,
    and when he marches through our fortresses,
    then we will raise against him seven shepherds,
    and eight leaders of men.
⁶ They 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.
⁷ The remnant of Jacob will be among many peoples,
    like dew from Yahweh,
    like showers on the grass,
    that don’t wait for man,
    nor wait for the sons of men.
⁸ The 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.
⁹ Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries,
    and let all of your enemies be cut off.
