1 Now gather 1413 thyself in troops 1416, O daughter 1323 of troops 1416: he hath laid 7760 siege 4692 against us: they shall smite 5221 the judge 8199 of Israel 3478 with a rod 7626 upon the cheek 3895.
2 But thou, Bethlehem 1035 Ephratah 672, though thou be little 6810 among the thousands 505 of Judah 3063, yet out of thee shall he come forth 3318 unto me that is to be ruler 4910 in Israel 3478; whose goings forth 4163 have been from of old 6924, from everlasting 3117 5769.
3 Therefore will he give them up 5414, until the time 6256 that she which travaileth 3205 hath brought forth 3205: then the remnant 3499 of his brethren 251 shall return 7725 unto the children 1121 of Israel 3478.
4 And he shall stand 5975 and feed 7462 in the strength 5797 of the LORD 3068, in the majesty 1347 of the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 his God 430; and they shall abide 3427: for now shall he be great 1431 unto the ends 657 of the earth 776.
5 And this man shall be the peace 7965, when the Assyrian 804 shall come 935 into our land 776: and when he shall tread 1869 in our palaces 759, then shall we raise 6965 against him seven 7651 shepherds 7462, and eight 8083 principal 5257 men 120.
6 And they shall waste 7462 the land 776 of Assyria 804 with the sword 2719, and the land 776 of Nimrod 5248 in the entrances 6607 thereof: thus shall he deliver 5337 us from the Assyrian 804, when he cometh 935 into our land 776, and when he treadeth 1869 within our borders 1366.
7 And the remnant 7611 of Jacob 3290 shall be in the midst 7130 of many 7227 people 5971 as a dew 2919 from the LORD 3068, as the showers 7241 upon the grass 6212, that tarrieth 6960 not for man 376, nor waiteth 3176 for the sons 1121 of men 120.
8 And the remnant 7611 of Jacob 3290 shall be among the Gentiles 1471 in the midst 7130 of many 7227 people 5971 as a lion 738 among the beasts 929 of the forest 3293, as a young lion 3715 among the flocks 5739 of sheep 6629: who, if he go through 5674, both treadeth down 7429, and teareth in pieces 2963, and none can deliver 5337.
9 Thine hand 3027 shall be lifted up 7311 upon thine adversaries 6862, and all thine enemies 341 shall be cut off 3772.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day 3117, saith 5002 the LORD 3068, that I will cut off 3772 thy horses 5483 out of the midst 7130 of thee, and I will destroy 6 thy chariots 4818:
11 And I will cut off 3772 the cities 6145 5892 of thy land 776, and throw down 2040 all thy strong holds 4013:
12 And I will cut off 3772 witchcrafts 3785 out of thine hand 3027; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers 6049:
13 Thy graven images 6456 also will I cut off 3772, and thy standing images 4676 out of the midst 7130 of thee; and thou shalt no more worship 7812 the work 4639 of thine hands 3027.
14 And I will pluck up 5428 thy groves 842 out of the midst 7130 of thee: so will I destroy 8045 thy cities 6145 5892.
15 And I will execute 6213 vengeance 5359 in anger 639 and fury 2534 upon the heathen 1471, such as they have not heard 8085.
