New Living Translation

New King James Version

  • aMobilize! Marshal your troops!
    The enemy is laying siege to Jerusalem.
    They will strike Israel’s leader
    in the face with a rod.
    A Ruler from Bethlehem
  • The Messiah Will Be Born at Bethlehem

    Now gather yourself in troops,
    O daughter of troops;
    He has laid siege against us;
    They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.
  • bBut you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
    are only a small village among all the people of Judah.
    Yet a ruler of Israel,
    whose origins are in the distant past,
    will come from you on my behalf.
  • The Coming Messiah

    “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
    Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,
    Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
    The One to be Ruler in Israel,
    Whose goings forth are from of old,
    From [a]everlasting.”
  • The people of Israel will be abandoned to their enemies
    until the woman in labor gives birth.
    Then at last his fellow countrymen
    will return from exile to their own land.
  • Therefore He shall give them up,
    Until the time that she who is in labor has given birth;
    Then the remnant of His brethren
    Shall return to the children of Israel.
  • And he will stand to lead his flock with the LORD’s strength,
    in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God.
    Then his people will live there undisturbed,
    for he will be highly honored around the world.
  • And He shall stand and feed[b] His flock
    In the strength of the Lord,
    In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God;
    And they shall abide,
    For now He shall be great
    To the ends of the earth;
  • And he will be the source of peace.
    When the Assyrians invade our land
    and break through our defenses,
    we will appoint seven rulers to watch over us,
    eight princes to lead us.
  • And this One shall be peace.
    Judgment on Israel’s Enemies

    When the Assyrian comes into our land,
    And when he treads in our palaces,
    Then we will raise against him
    Seven shepherds and eight princely men.
  • They will rule Assyria with drawn swords
    and enter the gates of the land of Nimrod.
    He will rescue us from the Assyrians
    when they pour over the borders to invade our land.
    The Remnant Purified
  • They shall [c]waste with the sword the land of Assyria,
    And the land of Nimrod at its entrances;
    Thus He shall deliver us from the Assyrian,
    When he comes into our land
    And when he treads within our borders.
  • Then the remnant left in Israelc
    will take their place among the nations.
    They will be like dew sent by the LORD
    or like rain falling on the grass,
    which no one can hold back
    and no one can restrain.
  • Then the remnant of Jacob
    Shall be in the midst of many peoples,
    Like dew from the Lord,
    Like showers on the grass,
    That [d]tarry for no man
    Nor [e]wait for the sons of men.
  • The remnant left in Israel
    will take their place among the nations.
    They will be like a lion among the animals of the forest,
    like a strong young lion among flocks of sheep and goats,
    pouncing and tearing as they go
    with no rescuer in sight.
  • And the remnant of Jacob
    Shall be among the Gentiles,
    In the midst of many peoples,
    Like a lion among the beasts of the forest,
    Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
    Who, if he passes through,
    Both treads down and tears in pieces,
    And none can deliver.
  • The people of Israel will stand up to their foes,
    and all their enemies will be wiped out.
  • Your hand shall be lifted against your adversaries,
    And all your enemies shall be [f]cut off.
  • “In that day,” says the LORD,
    “I will slaughter your horses
    and destroy your chariots.
  • “And it shall be in that day,” says the Lord,
    “That I will cut[g] off your horses from your midst
    And destroy your chariots.
  • I will tear down your walls
    and demolish your defenses.
  • I will cut off the cities of your land
    And throw down all your strongholds.
  • I will put an end to all witchcraft,
    and there will be no more fortune-tellers.
  • I will cut off sorceries from your hand,
    And you shall have no soothsayers.
  • I will destroy all your idols and sacred pillars,
    so you will never again worship the work of your own hands.
  • Your carved images I will also cut off,
    And your sacred pillars from your midst;
    You shall no more worship the work of your hands;
  • I will abolish your idol shrines with their Asherah poles
    and destroy your pagan cities.
  • I will pluck your [h]wooden images from your midst;
    Thus I will destroy your cities.
  • I will pour out my vengeance
    on all the nations that refuse to obey me.”
  • And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury
    On the nations that have not [i]heard.”
