Micah 5

1Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops; he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of IsraelH3478 with a rod upon the cheek. 2(And thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall he come forthH3205 unto me [who is] to be Ruler in IsraelH3478: whose goings forthH3205 are from of old, from the days of eternity.) 3ThereforeH6258 will he give them up, until the time when she which travaileth shall have broughtH1431 forth: and the residue of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. 4And he shall standH6965 and feedH7462 [his flock] in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his 1God. And they shall abide; for now shall he beH1961 great even unto the ends of the earthH776. 5And this [man] shall be Peace. When the Assyrian shall comeH935 into our landH776, and when he shall treadH1869 in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherdsH7462, and eight princes of men. 6And they shall waste the land of Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof; and he shall deliver [us] from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders. 7And the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 shall beH1961 in the midstH7130 of manyH7227 peoplesH5971 as dew from Jehovah, as showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, neither waiteth for the sons of men. 8And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, treadeth downH3772, and teareth in pieces, and there is none to deliver. 9Thy hand shall beH1961 lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall beH1961 cutH3772 off. 10And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah, that I will cutH3772 off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots. 11And I will cutH3772 off the cities of thy land, and overthrow all thy strongholds. 12And I will cutH3772 off sorceries out of thy handH3027; and thou shalt have no soothsayers. 13Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy statues out of the midstH7130 of thee; and thou shalt no more bow down to the work of thy hands. 14And I will pluck up thine Asherahs out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy cities. 15And I will execute vengeance in anger and in fury upon the nations, such as they have not heard of.
