Micah 5:5-9
Christian Standard Bible
5 He will be their peace.(A)
When Assyria invades our land,(B)
when it marches against our fortresses,
we will raise against it seven shepherds,
even eight leaders of men.
6 They will shepherd(C) the land of Assyria with the sword,
the land of Nimrod(D) with a drawn blade.[a]
So he will rescue us(E) from Assyria
when it invades our land,
when it marches against our territory.
The Glorious and Purified Remnant
7 Then the remnant of Jacob(F)
will be among many peoples
like dew from the Lord,(G)
like showers on the grass,(H)
which do not wait for anyone
or linger for mankind.
8 Then the remnant of Jacob
will be among the nations, among many peoples,
like a lion among animals of the forest,(I)
like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which tramples(J) and tears(K) as it passes through,
and there is no one to rescue them.(L)
9 Your hand will be lifted up against your adversaries,(M)
and all your enemies will be destroyed.

Micah 5:5-9
New American Standard Bible
5 This One (A)will be our peace.
When the (B)Assyrian invades our land,
When he tramples on our [a]citadels,
Then we will raise against him
Seven shepherds and eight leaders of people.
6 They will (C)shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
The land of (D)Nimrod at its entrances;
And He will (E)rescue us from the Assyrian
When he invades our land,
And when he tramples our territory.
7 Then the (F)remnant of Jacob
Will be among many peoples
Like (G)dew from the Lord,
Like (H)showers on vegetation
That do not wait for man,
Or delay for [b]mankind.
8 The remnant of Jacob
Will be among the nations,
Among many peoples
(I)Like a lion among the animals of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Which, if he passes through,
(J)Tramples and (K)tears,
And there is (L)no one who can rescue.
9 Your hand will be (M)lifted up against your adversaries,
And all your enemies will be eliminated.
Micah 5:5-9

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.
