Micah 5:4-8

4And He will arise and 1shepherd His flock In the strength of the Lord, In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God. And they will 2remain, Because 3at that time He will be great To the 4ends of the earth.5This One 5will be our peace. When the 6Assyrian invades our land, When he tramples on our 7citadels, Then we will raise against him Seven shepherds and eight leaders of men.6They will 8shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword, The land of 9Nimrod at its entrances; And He will 10deliver us from the Assyrian When he attacks our land And when he tramples our territory.

7Then the 11remnant of Jacob Will be among many peoples Like 12dew from the Lord, Like 13showers on vegetation Which do not wait for man Or delay for the sons of men.8The remnant of Jacob Will be among the nations, Among many peoples 14Like a lion among the beasts of the forest, Like a young lion among flocks of sheep, Which, if he passes through, 15Tramples down and 16tears, And there is 17none to rescue.
