“^(a)Now muster yourselves in troops, daughter of troops;
^(b)They have laid siege against us;
With a rod they will ^(A)smite the judge of Israel on the cheek.

^{Tools

“^(c)But as for ^(B)you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Too little to be among the clans of Judah,
From ^(C)you One will go forth for Me to be ^(D)ruler in Israel.
^(d)His goings forth are ^(E)from long ago,
From the days of eternity.”

^{Tools

Therefore He will ^(F)give them up until the time
When she ^(G)who is in labor has borne a child.
Then the ^(H)remainder of His brethren
Will return to the sons of Israel.

^{Tools
4}

And He will arise and ^(I)shepherd His flock
In the strength of the Lord,
In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God.
And they will ^(e)remain,
Because ^(f)at that time He will be great
To the ^(J)ends of the earth.

This One ^(K)will be our peace.
When the ^(L)Assyrian invades our land,
When he tramples on our ^(g)citadels,
Then we will raise against him
Seven shepherds and eight leaders of men.

^{Tools
6}

They will ^(M)shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
The land of ^(N)Nimrod at its entrances;
And He will ^(O)deliver us from the Assyrian
When he attacks our land
And when he tramples our territory.

^{Tools

Then the ^(P)remnant of Jacob
Will be among many peoples
Like ^(Q)dew from the Lord,
Like ^(R)showers on vegetation
Which do not wait for man
Or delay for the sons of men.

^{Tools
8}

The remnant of Jacob
Will be among the nations,
Among many peoples
^(S)Like a lion among the beasts of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Which, if he passes through,
^(T)Tramples down and ^(U)tears,
And there is ^(V)none to rescue.

^{Tools
9}

Your hand will be ^(W)lifted up against your adversaries,
And all your enemies will be cut off.

^{Tools
10}

“It will be in that day,” declares the Lord,
“^(X)That I will cut off your ^(Y)horses from among you
And destroy your chariots.

^{Tools
11}

“I will also cut off the ^(Z)cities of your land
And tear down all your ^(AA)fortifications.

^{Tools
12}

“I will cut off ^(AB)sorceries from your hand,
And you will have fortune-tellers no more.

^{Tools
13}

“^(AC)I will cut off your carved images
And your sacred pillars from among you,
So that you will no longer bow down
To the work of your hands.

^{Tools
14}

“I will root out your ^(h)^(AD)Asherim from among you
And destroy your cities.

^{Tools
15}

“And I will ^(AE)execute vengeance in anger and wrath
On the nations which have not obeyed.”
