Micah 4:7-9

The Voice

⁷    From those who were lame I will create a remnant,
        and from those who were cast off I will create a strong nation;
    And the Eternal will reign over them in Mount Zion
        now and forevermore.
⁸    And to you, the tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion,
        your former authority will return to you, the royal authority of the daughter of Jerusalem.

⁹Now, why do you cry aloud?
Don’t you have a king in your midst?
Has your counselor vanished,
allowing pain to paralyze you as it does a woman in labor?

New International Version

⁷I will make the lame my remnant,^(A)
    those driven away a strong nation.^(B)
The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion^(C)
    from that day and forever.^(D)
⁸As for you, watchtower of the flock,
    stronghold^[a] of Daughter Zion,
the former dominion will be restored^(E) to you;
    kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.^(F)”

⁹Why do you now cry aloud—
have you no king^[b]^(G)?
Has your ruler^[c] perished,
that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor?^(H)
