³ So God will abandon Israel
    only until the now-laboring mother gives birth,
And then those of His people who survive
    will be gathered back together with the rest of Israel.
⁴ And he will stand and feed his flock in the power of the Eternal One,
    with the majesty of the name of the Eternal, his True God.
And they will live in safety, for his greatness will extend to the farthest parts of the earth.
⁵ He will be our peace.
    When the Assyrians invade us, set foot inside our strong palaces,^[a]
We will raise up more than enough to conquer them—
    seven shepherds and eight rulers of men.
