Micah
Chapter 5
1 Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid
siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon
the cheek.
2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the
thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is
to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from
everlasting.
3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which
travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall
return unto the children of Israel.
4 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the
majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now
shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
5 And this man 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.
6 And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the
land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from
the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within
our borders.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as
a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not
for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
8 And 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.
9 Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all
thine enemies shall be cut off.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I
will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy
thy chariots:
11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all
thy strong holds:
12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt
have no more soothsayers:
13 Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images
out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of
thine hands.
14 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will
I destroy thy cities.
15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen,
such as they have not heard.
