Micah 5:7-14

7And later, Jacob's people who are still alive will be in many countries. They will be everywhere, like water on the ground in the early morning, or rain on the grass. The Lord sends the water to help the plants, but no human can make it stay.

8Jacob's people who are still alive will be living among people in many other countries. They will become like a dangerous lion among the other animals in the forest. They will become like a young lion among people's sheep. The lion attacks other animals. It knocks them down and it tears them in pieces. Nobody can save them.

9You will be strong like that and so you will beat your enemies. You will kill all of them.

10‘At that time,’ the Lord says, ‘I will take your horses away from you. I will destroy your chariots.

11I will destroy the cities in your country. I will knock down all your strong buildings.

12You make bad spirits help you. But I will destroy the things that you use to talk to them. You will have nobody to tell you about future times.

13You bend down to worship tall stones and idols. But I will destroy all of them. You will stop worshipping things that you have made with your own hands.

14You worship the false god Asherah, but I will pull her poles from the ground. I will even destroy your cities.
