Micah 5:7-14

7Those survivors from Jacob will live in the midst of many nations. They will be like the dew the Lord sends, like the rain on the grass, that does not hope for men to come or wait around for humans to arrive.

8Those survivors from Jacob will live among the nations, in the midst of many peoples. They will be like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep, which attacks when it passes through; it rips its prey and there is no one to stop it.

9Lift your hand triumphantly against your adversaries; may all your enemies be destroyed!

10“In that day,” says the Lord, “I will destroy your horses from your midst, and smash your chariots.

11I will destroy the cities of your land, and tear down all your fortresses.

12I will remove the sorcery that you practice, and you will no longer have omen readers living among you.

13I will remove your idols and sacred pillars from your midst; you will no longer worship what your own hands made.

14I will uproot your images of Asherah from your midst, and destroy your idols.
