Micah 5:7-15 ▼

7 Then the remnant of Jacob Will be among many peoples Like dew from Yahweh, Like showers on vegetation Which do not hope for man Or wait for the sons of men.

8 Then the remnant of Jacob Will be among the nations, Among many peoples Like a lion among the beasts of the forest, Like a young lion among flocks of sheep, Which, if it passes through, Tramples down and tears, And there is none to deliver.

9 Your hand will be raised up against your adversaries, And all your enemies will be cut off.

10 “And it will be in that day,” declares Yahweh, “That I will cut off your horses from among you And destroy your chariots.

11 And I will cut off the cities of your land And pull down all your fortifications.

12 And I will cut off sorceries from your hand, And you will have soothsaying no more.

13 And I will cut off your graven images And your sacred pillars from among you So that you will no longer worship The work of your hands.

14 And I will uproot your Asherim from among you And eradicate your cities.

15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath On the nations which have not listened.”
