CHAPTER 5
The Messiah Will Be Born at Bethlehem
1 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.
The Coming Messiah
2 ​​“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 everlasting.”
​
3 ​​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.
4 ​​And He shall stand and feed 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;
5 ​​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.
6 ​​They shall 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.
​
7 ​​Then the remnant of Jacob
​​Shall be in the midst of many peoples,
​​Like dew from the LORD,
​​Like showers on the grass,
​​That tarry for no man
​​Nor wait for the sons of men.
8 ​​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.
9 ​​Your hand shall be lifted against your adversaries,
​​And all your enemies shall be cut off.
​
10 ​​“And it shall be in that day,” says the LORD,
​​“That I will cut off your horses from your midst
​​And destroy your chariots.
11 ​​I will cut off the cities of your land
​​And throw down all your strongholds.
12 ​​I will cut off sorceries from your hand,
​​And you shall have no soothsayers.
13 ​​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;
14 ​​I will pluck your wooden images[fn] from your midst;
​​Thus I will destroy your cities.
15 ​​And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury
​​On the nations that have not heard.”[fn]
