1 Now gath­er thy­self in troops, O daugh­ter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Is­rael with a rod upon the cheek. 2 But thou, Beth­le­hem Ephratah, though thou be lit­tle among the thou­sands of Ju­dah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Is­rael; whose go­ings forth have been from of old, from ev­er­last­ing. 3 There­fore will he give them up, un­til the time that she which tra­vaileth hath brought forth: then the rem­nant of his brethren shall re­turn unto the chil­dren of Is­rael. 4 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth. 5 And this man shall be the peace, when the As­syr­i­an shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him sev­en shep­herds, and eight prin­ci­pal men. 6 And they shall waste the land of As­syr­ia with the sword, and the land of Nim­rod in the en­trances there­of: thus shall he de­liv­er us from the As­syr­i­an, when he cometh into our land, and when he tread­eth with­in our bor­ders. 7 And the rem­nant of Ja­cob shall be in the midst of many peo­ple as a dew from the LORD, as the show­ers upon the grass, that tar­ri­eth not for man, nor wait­eth for the sons of men. 8 And the rem­nant of Ja­cob shall be among the Gen­tiles in the midst of many peo­ple as a lion among the beasts of the for­est, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both tread­eth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can de­liv­er. 9 Thine hand shall be lift­ed up upon thine ad­ver­saries, and all thine en­e­mies shall be cut off. 10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy hors­es out of the midst of thee, and I will de­stroy thy char­i­ots: 11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds: 12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more sooth­say­ers: 13 Thy graven im­ages also will I cut off, and thy stand­ing im­ages out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more wor­ship the work of thine hands. 14 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I de­stroy thy cities. 15 And I will ex­e­cute vengeance in anger and fury upon the hea­then, such as they have not heard.
