Micah 5:7-15 ▼

7 The remnant of Jacob will be among many peoples like dew from Yahweh, like showers on the grass, that don’t wait for man nor wait for the sons of men.

8 The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, among many peoples, like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.

9 Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all of your enemies be cut off.

10 “It will happen in that day”, says Yahweh, “that I will cut off your horses from among you and will destroy your chariots.

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

12 I will destroy witchcraft from your hand. You shall have no soothsayers.

13 I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars from among you; and you shall no more worship the work of your hands.

14 I will uproot your Asherah poles from among you; and I will destroy your cities.

15 I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath on the nations that didn’t listen.”
