Micah 5

1Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he has laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. 2But you, Bethlehem Ephratah, you be little among the thousands of Judah, out of you shall he come forth unto me to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth from of old, from everlasting. 3Therefore will he give them up, until the time she which travaileth has brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. 4And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Yahuah, in the majesty of the name of the Yahuah his Elohim; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth. 5And this shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. 6And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders. 7And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the Yahuah, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men. 8And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver. 9your hand shall be lifted up upon your adversaries, and all your enemies shall be cut off. 10And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Yahuah, that I will cut off your horses out of the midst of you, and I will destroy your chariots: 11And I will cut off the cities of your land, and throw down all your strong holds: 12And I will cut off witchcrafts out of your hand; and you shall have no soothsayers: 13your graven images also will I cut off, and your standing images out of the midst of you; and you shall no more worship the work of your hands. 14And I will pluck up your groves out of the midst of you: so will I destroy your cities. 15And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
