Micah 5:7-14

7Then the remnant of Jacob Shall be among many peoples Like dew from the Lord, Like showers on the grass [a source of blessing] Which [come suddenly and] do not wait for man Nor delay for the sons of men.

8The 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 [suddenly appearing] among the flocks of sheep Which, if he passes through, Tramples down and tears into pieces [the nations in judgment], And there is no one to rescue.

9Your hand will be lifted up against your adversaries, And all your enemies shall be cut off and destroyed.

10“And in that day,” says the Lord, “I will cut off your horses from among you And destroy your chariots [on which you depend].

11I will cut off the cities of your land And tear down all your fortifications.

12I will cut off witchcrafts and sorceries from your hand, And you shall have no more fortune-tellers.

13I will also cut off your carved images And your sacred pillars from among you, So that you will no longer worship and bow down To the work of your hands.

14I will root out your Asherim (symbols of the goddess Asherah) from among you And destroy your cities [which are the centers of pagan worship].
