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

And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
