Micah 5:5-15 ▼

5 And this man will be our peace, when the Assyrian will come into our land, and when he will trample on our houses; and we will raise against him seven shepherds and eight principal men.

6 And they will graze on the land of Assur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with its spears; and he will free us from Assur, when he will come into our land, and when he will trample our borders.

7 And there will be a remnant of Jacob in the midst of many peoples, like a dew from the Lord and like drops upon the grass, which awaits no man and does not stand before the sons of men.

8 And there will be a remnant of Jacob within the Gentiles, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forests, and like a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, when he will pass through and trample down and seize, there is none who can rescue.

9 Your hand will be exalted over your enemies, and all your adversaries will pass away.

10 And it will be in that day, says the Lord: I will take away your horses from your midst, and I will utterly ruin your four-horse chariots.

11 And I will destroy the cities of your land, and I will pull down all your fortifications,

12 and I will take away evil-doing from your hand, and there will be no divinations among you.

13 <V 5:12>And I will cause your graven images to perish, and your statues, from your midst. And you will no longer adore the works of your hands.

14 <V 5:13>And I will root out your sacred groves from your midst, and I will crush your cities.

15 <V 5:14>And I will exact vengeance, in fury and in indignation, among all the nations which have not listened.
