Micah 5:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ With swords in hand our leaders will defeat the Assyrians
    and rule the land of Nimrod.^[a]
They^[b] will save us from the Assyrians
    when they come into our land and march through our territory.
⁷ But those from Jacob who are still living and scattered among the nations
    will be like dew from the Lord that does not depend on anyone.
They will be like rain on the grass
    that does not wait for anyone.
⁸ Those from Jacob who are still living
    are scattered among the nations.
But they will be like a lion among the animals in the forest.
    They will be like a young lion among flocks of sheep.
If the lion passes through,
    he goes where he wants to go.
If he attacks an animal,
    no one can save it.
    The survivors will be like that.
