Micah 5:5-9
New American Standard Bible 1995
5 This One (A)will be our peace.
When the (B)Assyrian invades our land,
When he tramples on our [a]citadels,
Then we will raise against him
Seven shepherds and eight leaders of men.
6 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 attacks our land
And when he tramples our territory.
7 Then the (F)remnant of Jacob
Will be among many peoples
Like (G)dew from the Lord,
Like (H)showers on vegetation
Which do not wait for man
Or delay for the sons of men.
8 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 he passes through,
(J)Tramples down and (K)tears,
And there is (L)none to rescue.
9 Your hand will be (M)lifted up against your adversaries,
And all your enemies will be cut off.
