Micah 5:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Your hand shall be lifted above your foes,
and all your enemies shall be cut down.
9 [a]On that day—oracle of the Lord—
I will destroy the horses from your midst
and ruin your chariots;
10 I will destroy the cities of your land
and tear down all your fortresses.
