Micah 5:5-9
Legacy Standard Bible
5 And this One (A)will be peace.
When the (B)Assyrian enters our land,
When he treads on our [a]citadels,
Then we will raise against him
Seven shepherds and eight princes of men.
6 And they will (C)shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
The land of (D)Nimrod at its entrances;
And He will (E)deliver us from the Assyrian
When he enters our land
And when he treads within our borders.
7 Then the (F)remnant of Jacob
Will be among many peoples
Like (G)dew from Yahweh,
Like (H)showers on vegetation
Which do not hope for man
Or wait for the sons of men.
8 Then the remnant of Jacob
Will be among the nations,
Among many peoples
(I)Like a lion among the beasts of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Which, if it passes through,
(J)Tramples down and (K)tears,
And there is (L)none to deliver.
9 Your hand will be (M)raised up against your adversaries,
And all your enemies will be cut off.

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.
Micah 5:5-9
King James Version
Micah 5:5-9
King James Version
5 And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
6 And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the Lord, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
9 Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
