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
Lexham English Bible
5 And this one will be peace.
As for the Assyrian,[a] when he comes into our land
and when he treads on our fortresses,
then we will raise up against him seven shepherds
and eight leaders of men.
6 And they will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
and the land of Nimrod at its entrances.
And he will rescue us from the Assyrian[b]
when he comes into our land,
and when they tread upon our border.
A Remnant Delivered
7 And the remnant of Jacob will be
in the midst of many nations,
like dew from Yahweh,
like showers upon the grass
which does not wait for a man,
nor delays for the children of humankind.
8 And the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the wild animals of the forest,
like a young lion among the herds of sheep
which, when it passes through and treads down
and tears in pieces, there is none who can deliver.
9 Your hand will be lifted high over your enemies,
and all your foes will be cut off.
