Birth of the King in Bethlehem

1“1NowH6258 musterH1413 yourselves inH1413 troopsH1413, daughterH1323 of troopsH1416; 2They have laidH7760 siegeH4692 againstH5921 us; With a rodH7626 they will 3strikeH5221 the judgeH8199 of IsraelH3478 on the cheekH3895.24But as for 5you, BethlehemH1035 EphrathahH672, Too littleH6810 to be among the clansH505 of JudahH3063, From 6you One will comeH3318 forthH3318 for Me to be 7rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478. His timesH4163 ofH4163 comingH4163 forthH4163 are 8from longH6924 agoH6924, From the daysH3117 of eternityH5769.”3ThereforeH3651 He will 9giveH5414 them up untilH5704 the timeH6256 When she 10who is inH3205 laborH3205 has givenH3205 birthH3205. Then the 11remainderH3499 of His kinsmenH251 Will returnH7725 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.4And He will ariseH5975 and 12shepherdH7462 His flock In the strengthH5797 of the LordH3068, In the majestyH1347 of the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 His GodH430. And they will 13remainH3427, BecauseH3588 14at that timeH6258 He will beH1431 greatH1431 To the 15endsH657 of the earthH776.5ThisH2088 OneH2088 16will be our peaceH7965. WhenH3588 the 17AssyrianH804 invadesH935 our landH776, WhenH3588 he tramplesH1869 on our 18citadelsH759, Then we will raiseH6965 againstH5921 him SevenH7651 shepherdsH7462 and eightH8083 leadersH5257 of peopleH120.6They will 19shepherdH7462 the landH776 of AssyriaH804 with the swordH2719, The landH776 of 20NimrodH5248 at its entrancesH6607; And He will 21rescueH5337 us from the AssyrianH804 WhenH3588 he invadesH935 our landH776, And whenH3588 he tramplesH1869 our territoryH1366.

7Then the 22remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 Will be amongH7130 manyH7227 peoplesH5971 Like 23dewH2919 from the LordH3068, Like 24showersH7241 on vegetationH6212 That do not waitH6960 for manH376, Or delayH3176 for 25mankindH1121H120.8The remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 Will be among the nationsH1471, AmongH7130 manyH7227 peoplesH5971 26Like a lionH743 among the animalsH929 of the forestH3293, Like a youngH3715 lionH3715 among flocksH5739 of sheepH6629, WhichH834, ifH518 he passesH5674 throughH5674, 27TramplesH7429 and 28tearsH2963, And thereH369 isH369 29noH369 oneH369 whoH5337 canH5337 rescueH5337.9Your handH3027 will be 30liftedH7311 upH7311 againstH5921 your adversariesH6862, And allH3605 your enemiesH340 will be eliminatedH3772.

10“And it will be on that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “31That I will eliminateH3772 your 32horsesH5483 from amongH7130 you, And destroyH6 your chariotsH4818.11I will also eliminateH3772 the 33citiesH5892 of your landH776, And tearH2040 downH2040 allH3605 your 34fortificationsH4013.12I will eliminateH3772 35sorceriesH3785 from your handH3027, And you will haveH1961 noH3808 fortune-tellersH6049.1336I will eliminateH3772 your carvedH6456 imagesH6456 And your memorialH4676 stonesH4676 from amongH7130 you, So that you will noH3808 longerH5750 bowH2331 downH2331 To the workH4639 of your handsH3027.14I will uprootH5428 your 3738AsherimH842 from amongH7130 you, And destroyH8045 your citiesH5892.15And I will 39executeH6213 vengeanceH5359 in angerH639 and wrathH2534 On the nationsH1471 whichH834 have not obeyedH8085.”
