Micah 5:2-9
2But youH859, BethlehemH1035 EphrathahH672, who areH1961 smallH6810 among the clansH5051 of JudahH3063, out of youH4480 will come forthH3318 for Me One to beH1961 rulerH4910 over IsraelH34782— One whose originsH4163 are of oldH6924, from the daysH3117 of eternityH5769.3ThereforeH3651 Israel will be abandonedH5414 untilH5704H6256 she who is in laborH3205 has given birthH3205; then the restH3499 of His brothersH251 will returnH7725 toH5921 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
4He will standH5975 and shepherdH7462 His flockin the strengthH5797 of the LORDH3068,in the majesticH1347 nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 His GodH430.And they will dwell securelyH3427,forH3588 thenH6258 His greatness will extendH1431toH5704 the endsH657 of the earthH776.5And HeH2088 will beH1961 our peaceH79653whenH3588 AssyriaH804 invadesH935 our landH776andH3588 tramplesH1869 our citadelsH759.We will raiseH6965 against itH5921 sevenH7651 shepherdsH7462,even eightH8083 leadersH5257 of menH120.6And they will ruleH7462 the landH776 of AssyriaH804 with the swordH2719,andH853 the landH776 of NimrodH5248 with the blade drawnH6607.So He will deliver usH5337whenH3588 AssyriaH804 invadesH935 our landH776andH3588 marchesH1869 into our bordersH1366.
7Then the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 will beH1961in the midstH7130 of manyH7227 peoplesH5971like dewH2919 fromH854 the LORDH3068,like showersH7241 onH5921 the grassH6212,whichH834 do notH3808 waitH6960 for manH376orH3808 lingerH3176 for mankindH1121H120.8Then the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 will beH1961 among the nationsH1471,in the midstH7130 of manyH7227 peoplesH5971,like a lionH738 among the beastsH929 of the forestH3293,like a young lionH3715 among flocksH5739 of sheepH6629,whichH834 tramplesH7429 and tearsH2963 asH518 it passes throughH5674,with noH369 one to rescue themH5337.9Your handH3027 will be liftedH7311 overH5921 your foesH6862,and allH3605 your enemiesH341 will be cut offH3772.
