Micah 5:5-9
Amplified Bible
5
This One [the Messiah] shall be our peace.
When the Assyrian invades our land
And tramples on our citadels and in our palaces,
Then shall we raise against him
Seven shepherds and eight princes [an overpowering force] among men.(A)
6
They shall devastate the land of Assyria with the sword and
The land of Nimrod within her [own] gates.
And He (the Messiah) shall rescue us from the Assyrian (all enemy nations)
When he attacks our land
And when he tramples our territory.
7
Then the remnant of Jacob
Shall be among many peoples
Like dew from the Lord,
Like showers on the grass [a source of blessing]
Which [come suddenly and] do not wait for man
Nor delay for the sons of men.(B)
8
The remnant of Jacob
Shall be among the nations,
In the midst of many peoples
Like a lion among the beasts of the forest,
Like a young lion [suddenly appearing] among the flocks of sheep
Which, if he passes through,
Tramples down and tears into pieces [the nations in judgment],
And there is no one to rescue.
9
Your hand will be lifted up against your adversaries,
And all your enemies shall be cut off and destroyed.
Micah 5:5-9
New International Version
5 And he will be our peace(A)
when the Assyrians invade(B) our land
and march through our fortresses.
We will raise against them seven shepherds,
even eight commanders,(C)
6 who will rule[a] the land of Assyria with the sword,
the land of Nimrod(D) with drawn sword.[b](E)
He will deliver us from the Assyrians
when they invade our land
and march across our borders.(F)
7 The remnant(G) of Jacob will be
in the midst of many peoples
like dew(H) from the Lord,
like showers on the grass,(I)
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,(J)
like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which mauls and mangles(K) as it goes,
and no one can rescue.(L)
9 Your hand will be lifted up(M) in triumph over your enemies,
and all your foes will be destroyed.
