Micah 5

1NowH1961 shalt thou gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laidH3318 siege againstH4480 usH3117: they shall smite the judge of IsraelH3478 with a rod uponH1961 the cheek. 2But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, outH5921 of thee shall one comeH7725 forthH3205 unto meH5414 that is to be ruler in IsraelH3478; whoseH1121 goings forthH3205 are from of oldH1121, from everlasting. 3Therefore will he give them upH5975, untilH5704 the time that sheH3588 which travaileth hath broughtH1431 forth: then the residue of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. 4And he shall standH6965, and shall feedH7462 his flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God: and they shall abide; for nowH1961 shall he be great unto the ends of the earthH776. 5And this man shall be our peace: when the Assyrian shall comeH935 intoH935 our landH776, and when he shall treadH1869 in our palaces, then shall weH3588 raise againstH935 him seven shepherdsH7462, and eight principal men. 6And they shall wasteH3176 the landH7130 of Assyria with the sword, and the landH7130 of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: and he shall deliver usH5921 from the Assyrian, when he cometh intoH5921 our landH7130, and when he treadeth withinH7130 our borderH1961. 7And the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 shall be in the midstH7130 of manyH7227 peoplesH5971 as dew from the LORD, as showers uponH1961 the grass; that tarrieth notH369 for manH369, norH369 waiteth for the sons of menH5971. 8And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go throughH3027, treadeth downH3772 and teareth in pieces, and there is noneH3605 to deliver. 9LetH1961 thine hand be lifted upH1961 above thine adversaries, and letH1961 allH3117 thine enemies be cutH3772 offH3772. 10And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cutH3772 offH3772 thy horses outH3605 of the midst of thee, and will destroyH3605 thy chariots: 11and I will cutH3772 offH3772 the cities of thy land, and will throw downH3772 all thy strong holds: 12And I will cutH3772 offH3772 witchcrafts outH3027 of thine handH3027; and thou shalt have noH3808 moreH5750 soothsayers: 13and I will cut off thy graven images and thy pillars out of the midstH7130 of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands. 14and I will pluck up thine Asherim outH1471 of the midst of thee: and I will destroyH6213 thy cities. 15And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the nations which hearkened not.
