Micah 5:2-9

21But as for 2you, BethlehemH1035 EphrathahH672, Too littleH6810 to be among the clansH505 of JudahH3063, From 3you One will goH3318 forthH3318 for Me to be 4rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478. 5His goingsH4163 forthH4163 are 6from longH6924 agoH6924, From the daysH3117 of eternityH5769.”3ThereforeH3651 He will 7giveH5414 them up untilH5704 the timeH6256 When she 8who is in laborH3205 has borneH3205 a child. Then the 9remainderH3499 of His brethrenH251 Will returnH7725 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.4And He will ariseH5975 and 10shepherdH7462 His flock In the strengthH5797 of the LordH3068, In the majestyH1347 of the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 His GodH430. And they will 11remainH3427, BecauseH3588 12at that timeH6258 He will be greatH1431 To the 13endsH657 of the earthH776.5ThisH2088 OneH2088 14will be our peaceH7965. WhenH3588 the 15AssyrianH804 invadesH935 our landH776, WhenH3588 he tramplesH1869 on our 16citadelsH759, Then we will raiseH6965 againstH5921 him SevenH7651 shepherdsH7462 and eightH8083 leadersH5257 of menH120.6They will 17shepherdH7462 the landH776 of AssyriaH804 with the swordH2719, The landH776 of 18NimrodH5248 at its entrancesH6607; And He will 19deliverH5337 us from the AssyrianH804 WhenH3588 he attacksH935 our landH776 And whenH3588 he tramplesH1869 our territoryH1366.

7Then the 20remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 Will be amongH7130 manyH7227 peoplesH5971 Like 21dewH2919 from the LordH3068, Like 22showersH7241 on vegetationH6212 WhichH834 do not waitH6960 for manH376 Or delayH3176 for the sonsH1121 of menH120.8The remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 Will be among the nationsH1471, AmongH7130 manyH7227 peoplesH5971 23Like a lionH743 among the beastsH929 of the forestH3293, Like a youngH3715 lionH3715 among flocksH5739 of sheepH6629, WhichH834, ifH518 he passesH5674 throughH5674, 24TramplesH7429 downH7429 and 25tearsH2963, And thereH369 is 26noneH369 to rescueH5337.9Your handH3027 will be 27liftedH7311 up againstH5921 your adversariesH6862, And allH3605 your enemiesH340 will be cutH3772 offH3772.
