Micah 5:5-9
New Living Translation
5 And he will be the source of peace.
When the Assyrians invade our land
and break through our defenses,
we will appoint seven rulers to watch over us,
eight princes to lead us.
6 They will rule Assyria with drawn swords
and enter the gates of the land of Nimrod.
He will rescue us from the Assyrians
when they pour over the borders to invade our land.
The Remnant Purified
7 Then the remnant left in Israel[a]
will take their place among the nations.
They will be like dew sent by the Lord
or like rain falling on the grass,
which no one can hold back
and no one can restrain.
8 The remnant left in Israel
will take their place among the nations.
They will be like a lion among the animals of the forest,
like a strong young lion among flocks of sheep and goats,
pouncing and tearing as they go
with no rescuer in sight.
9 The people of Israel will stand up to their foes,
and all their enemies will be wiped out.
Micah 5:5-9
New International Version
5 And he will be our peace(A)
when the Assyrians invade(B) our land
and march through our fortresses.
We will raise against them seven shepherds,
even eight commanders,(C)
6 who will rule[a] the land of Assyria with the sword,
the land of Nimrod(D) with drawn sword.[b](E)
He will deliver us from the Assyrians
when they invade our land
and march across our borders.(F)
7 The remnant(G) of Jacob will be
in the midst of many peoples
like dew(H) from the Lord,
like showers on the grass,(I)
which do not wait for anyone
or depend on man.
8 The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,(J)
like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which mauls and mangles(K) as it goes,
and no one can rescue.(L)
9 Your hand will be lifted up(M) in triumph over your enemies,
and all your foes will be destroyed.
