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
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.
