Micah 5:10-15

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ “At that time I will destroy
    your war horses,” announces the Lord.
    “I will smash your chariots.
¹¹ I will destroy the cities in your land.
    I will tear down all your forts.
¹² I will destroy your worship of evil powers.
    You will no longer be able
    to put a spell on anyone.
¹³ I will destroy the statues of your gods.
    I will take your sacred stones away from you.
You will no longer bow down
    to the gods your hands have made.
¹⁴ I will pull down the poles you used
    to worship the female god named Asherah.
    That will happen when I completely destroy your cities.
¹⁵ I will pay back the nations
    that have not obeyed me.
    I will direct my anger against them.”
