Micah 5:5-9
New American Standard Bible
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 people.
6 They will (C)shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
The land of (D)Nimrod at its entrances;
And He will (E)rescue us from the Assyrian
When he invades 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
That do not wait for man,
Or delay for [b]mankind.
8 The remnant of Jacob
Will be among the nations,
Among many peoples
(I)Like a lion among the animals of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Which, if he passes through,
(J)Tramples and (K)tears,
And there is (L)no one who can rescue.
9 Your hand will be (M)lifted up against your adversaries,
And all your enemies will be eliminated.
Micah 5:5-9
English Standard Version
5 And he shall be (A)their peace.
(B)When the Assyrian comes into our land
and treads in our palaces,
then we will raise against him seven (C)shepherds
and eight princes of men;
6 they shall shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
and the land of (D)Nimrod at its entrances;
and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian
(E)when he comes into our land
and treads within our border.
A Remnant Shall Be Delivered
7 Then (F)the remnant of Jacob shall be
in the midst of many peoples
like dew from the Lord,
like showers on the grass,
which delay not for a man
nor wait for the children of man.
8 And (G)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 among the flocks of sheep,
(H)which, when it goes through, treads down
and tears in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
9 Your hand shall (I)be lifted up over your adversaries,
and all your enemies shall be cut off.
