Context of Micah 5:10

8The few people left from Jacob will be among the nations, among many people. They will be like a lion among animals in the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep. When a lion hunts, it tramples ⌞its victims⌟ and tears ⌞them⌟ to pieces, and there is no one to rescue them. 9You will use your power against your opponents, and all your enemies will be destroyed. “When that day comes,” declares the Lord, “I will destroy your horses and demolish your chariots. 11I will destroy the cities in your land and tear down all your fortresses. 12I will destroy your sorcerers, and you will have no more fortunetellers.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10And it shall come to pass in that day - Of grace in the kingdom of Christ and of His Presence in the Apostles and with the Church; “I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee.” The greater the glory and purity of the church, the less it needs or hangs upon human aid.
