From him will come the cornerstone,<n id="1" /> the wall peg,<n id="2" /> the battle bow, and every ruler.<n id="3" />

And they will be like warriors trampling the mud of the streets in battle. They will fight, for the <sc>Lordsc> will be with them, and will defeat the enemy cavalry.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">I will remove<n id="1" /> the chariot from Ephraimp> <p class="poetry">and the warhorse from Jerusalem,p> <p class="poetry">and the battle bow will be removed.p> <p class="poetry">Then he will announce peace to the nations.p> <p class="poetry">His dominion will be from sea to seap> <p class="poetry">and from the Euphrates River<n id="2" /> to the ends of the earth.p>

I am enraged at the shepherds and will punish the lead-goats.p> <p class="bodytext">For the <sc>Lordsc> who rules over all has brought blessing to his flock, the house of Judah, and will transform them into his majestic warhorse.

For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem<n id="1" /> to wage war; the city will be taken, its houses plundered, and the women raped. Then half of the city will go into exile, but the remainder of the people will not be taken away.<n id="2" />p>
