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
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.
