Micah 5:2-9
21But as for 2you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From 3you One will come forth for Me to be 4ruler in Israel. His times of coming forth are 5from long ago, From the days of eternity.”3Therefore He will 6give them up until the time When she 7who is in labor has given birth. Then the 8remainder of His kinsmen Will return to the sons of Israel.4And He will arise and 9shepherd His flock In the strength of the Lord, In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God. And they will 10remain, Because 11at that time He will be great To the 12ends of the earth.5This One 13will be our peace. When the 14Assyrian invades our land, When he tramples on our 15citadels, Then we will raise against him Seven shepherds and eight leaders of people.6They will 16shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword, The land of 17Nimrod at its entrances; And He will 18rescue us from the Assyrian When he invades our land, And when he tramples our territory.
7Then the 19remnant of Jacob Will be among many peoples Like 20dew from the Lord, Like 21showers on vegetation That do not wait for man, Or delay for 22mankind.8The remnant of Jacob Will be among the nations, Among many peoples 23Like a lion among the animals of the forest, Like a young lion among flocks of sheep, Which, if he passes through, 24Tramples and 25tears, And there is 26no one who can rescue.9Your hand will be 27lifted up against your adversaries, And all your enemies will be eliminated.
