Micah 5:5-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 and he shall be the one of peace.
If the Assyrians come into our land
and tread upon our soil,[a]
we will raise against them seven shepherds
and eight rulers.(A)
6 They shall rule the land of Assyria with the sword
and the land of Nimrod with the drawn sword;[b]
they[c] shall rescue us from the Assyrians
if they come into our land
or tread within our border.(B)
The Future Role of the Remnant
7 Then the remnant of Jacob,
surrounded by many peoples,
shall be like dew from the Lord,
like showers on the grass,
which do not depend upon people
or wait for any mortal.(C)
8 And among the nations the remnant of Jacob,
surrounded by many peoples,
shall be like a lion among the animals of the forest,
like a young lion among the flocks of sheep,
which, when it goes through, treads down
and tears in pieces, with no one to deliver.(D)
9 Your hand shall be lifted up over your adversaries,
and all your enemies shall be cut off.(E)
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.
