Micah 5:7-8
New King James Version
7 Then (A)the remnant of Jacob
Shall be in the midst of many peoples,
(B)Like dew from the Lord,
Like showers on the grass,
That [a]tarry for no man
Nor [b]wait for the sons of men.
8 And the remnant of Jacob
Shall be among the Gentiles,
In the midst of many peoples,
Like a (C)lion among the beasts of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Who, if he passes through,
Both treads down and tears in pieces,
And none can deliver.
Micah 5:7-8
New American Standard Bible
7 Then the (A)remnant of Jacob
Will be among many peoples
Like (B)dew from the Lord,
Like (C)showers on vegetation
That do not wait for man,
Or delay for [a]mankind.
8 The remnant of Jacob
Will be among the nations,
Among many peoples
(D)Like a lion among the animals of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Which, if he passes through,
(E)Tramples and (F)tears,
And there is (G)no one who can rescue.

Amplified Bible
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.(A)
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.
