1Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops:
2But thou, Beth-lehem Ephratah,
3Therefore will he give them up,
4And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord,
5And this man shall be the peace,
6And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword,
7And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people
8And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people
9Thine hand shall be lift up upon thine adversaries,
10And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord,
11And I will cut off the cities of thy land,
12And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand;
13Thy graven images also will I cut off,
14And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee:
15And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen,
