chapter 5
1
Now
shalt thou be laid waste, O daughter of the robber: they have laid siege
against us, with a rod shall they strike the cheek of the judge of Israel.
2 AND THOU, BETHLEHEM Ephrata, art a little one among
the thousands of Juda: out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be
the ruler in Israel: and his going forth is from the beginning, from the days
of eternity.
3 Therefore will he give them up even till the time
wherein she that travaileth shall bring forth: and the remnant of his brethren
shall be converted to the children of Israel.
4 And he shall stand, and feed in the strength of the
Lord, in the height of the name of the Lord his God: and they shall be
converted, for now shall he be magnified even to the ends of the earth.
5 And this man shall be our peace, when the Assyrian
shall come into our land, and when he shall set his foot in our houses: and we
shall raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
6 And they shall feed the land of Assyria with the
sword, and the land of Nemrod with the spears thereof: and he shall deliver us
from the Assyrian, when he shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in
our borders.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of
many peoples as a dew from the Lord, and as drops upon the grass, which waiteth
not for man, nor tarrieth for the children of men.
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles
in the midst of many peoples as a lion among the beasts of the forests, and as
a young lion among the docks of sheep: who when he shall go through and tread
down, and take, there is none to deliver.
9 Thy hand shall be lifted up over thy enemies, and all
thy enemies shall be cut off.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the
Lord, that I will take away thy horses out of the midst of thee, and will
destroy thy chariots.
11 And I will destroy the cities of thy land, and will
throw down all thy strong holds, and I will take away sorceries out of thy
hand, and there shall be no divinations in thee.
12 And I will destroy thy graven things, and thy
statues out of the midst of thee: and thou shalt no more adore the works of thy
hands.
13 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of
thee: and will crush thy cities.
14 And I will execute vengeance in wrath and in
indignation among all the nations that have not given ear.
