The child will become the shepherd of his flock.
    He will lead them with the strength of Yahweh,
        with the majestic name of Yahweh his Elohim.
    They will live in safety
        because his greatness will reach the ends of the earth.
            This man will be their peace.

When the Assyrians invade our land and trample our palaces,
    we will attack them with seven shepherds and eight leaders.
        They will rule Assyria with their swords
            and the country of Nimrod with drawn swords.
        They will rescue us from the Assyrians
            when they come into our land
                and walk within our territory.

He will stand and shepherd his flock(A)

    will reach to the ends of the earth.

And he will be our peace(C)
    when the Assyrians invade(D) our land
    and march through our fortresses.
We will raise against them seven shepherds,
    even eight commanders,(E)
who will rule[a] the land of Assyria with the sword,
    the land of Nimrod(F) with drawn sword.[b](G)
He will deliver us from the Assyrians
    when they invade our land
    and march across our borders.(H)
