^eWhen the Assyrian comes into our land
and treads in our palaces,
then we will raise against him seven ^fshepherds
and eight princes of men;

and the land of ^gNimrod at its entrances;
and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian
^hwhen he comes into our land
and treads within our border.

A Remnant Shall Be Delivered

7 Then ⁱthe remnant of Jacob shall be
in the midst of many peoples
like dew from the Lord,
like showers on the grass,
which delay not for a man
nor wait for the children of man.
8 And ^jthe remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations,
in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,
like a young lion among the flocks of sheep,
^kwhich, when it goes through, treads down
and tears in pieces, and there is none to deliver.

The Whole Armor of God

10 Finally, ^aibe strong in the Lord and in ^ajthe strength of his might. 11 ^akPut on ^althe whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against ^amthe schemes of the devil. 12 For ^anwe do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against ^aothe rulers, against the authorities, against ^apthe cosmic powers over ^aqthis present darkness, against ^arthe spiritual forces of evil ^asin the heavenly places. 13 Therefore ^attake up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in ^authe evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, ^avhaving fastened on the belt of truth, and ^awhaving put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, ^axas shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up ^aythe shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all ^azthe flaming darts of ^bathe evil one; 17 and take ^bbthe helmet of salvation, and ^bcthe sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
