Micah 5:7-15 ▼

7 Then the remnant of Jacob (he grasps the heel) will be in the midst of many peoples like dew from the LORD {YHWH}, like showers on the grass, which do not wait for man or linger for mankind.

8 Then the remnant of Jacob (he grasps the heel) will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, which tramples and tears as it passes through, with no one to rescue them.

9 Your hand will be lifted over your foes, and all your enemies will be cut off.

10 “In that day,” declares the LORD {YHWH}, “I will remove your horses from among you and wreck your chariots.

11 I will remove the cities of your land and tear down all your strongholds.

12 I will cut the sorceries from your hand, and you will have no fortune-tellers.

13 I will also cut off the carved images and sacred pillars from among you, so that you will no longer bow down to the work of your own hands.

14 I will root out the Asherah poles (goddess) from your midst and demolish your cities.

15 I will take vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations that have not obeyed Me.”
