Micah 5:6-8
The Voice
The “seven shepherds and eight rulers” represent the whole leadership of the people.
6 They will rule over the country of Assyria with the sword,
and the country of Nimrod at its front gates.
He will save us from the Assyrians when they invade our lands
and tread in our borders.
7-8 Then what remains of Jacob will be like a dew from the Eternal,
like showers on the grass, which are beyond the control of humans.
He will be spread throughout many peoples and many nations.
Like a lion among beasts of the forest, a young lion among flocks of sheep,
He tramples and tears as he goes; no one will survive.

Micah 5:6-8
New International Version
6 who will rule[a] the land of Assyria with the sword,
the land of Nimrod(A) with drawn sword.[b](B)
He will deliver us from the Assyrians
when they invade our land
and march across our borders.(C)
7 The remnant(D) of Jacob will be
in the midst of many peoples
like dew(E) from the Lord,
like showers on the grass,(F)
which do not wait for anyone
or depend on man.
8 The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,(G)
like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which mauls and mangles(H) as it goes,
and no one can rescue.(I)
