Micah 5:13-15
The Message
10-15 “The day is coming”
—God’s Decree—
“When there will be no more war. None.
I’ll slaughter your war horses and demolish your chariots.
I’ll dismantle military posts
and level your fortifications.
I’ll abolish your religious black markets,
your underworld traffic in black magic.
I will smash your carved and cast gods
and chop down your phallic posts.
No more taking control of the world,
worshiping what you do or make.
I’ll root out your sacred sex-and-power centers
and destroy the God-defiant.
In raging anger, I’ll make a clean sweep
of godless nations who haven’t listened.”
Micah 5:13-15
New International Version
13 I will destroy your idols(A)
and your sacred stones from among you;(B)
you will no longer bow down
to the work of your hands.(C)
14 I will uproot from among you your Asherah poles[a](D)
when I demolish your cities.
15 I will take vengeance(E) in anger and wrath
on the nations that have not obeyed me.”
