Micah 5:10-15
New American Standard Bible
10 “And it will be on that day,” declares the Lord,
“(A)That I will eliminate your (B)horses from among you,
And destroy your chariots.
11 I will also eliminate the (C)cities of your land,
And tear down all your (D)fortifications.
12 I will eliminate (E)sorceries from your hand,
And you will have no fortune-tellers.
13 (F)I will eliminate your carved images
And your memorial stones from among you,
So that you will no longer bow down
To the work of your hands.
14 I will uproot your [a](G)Asherim from among you,
And destroy your cities.
15 And I will (H)execute vengeance in anger and wrath
On the nations which have not obeyed.”

10 On that day—says the Lord—
I will cut down your horses in your midst;
