Micah 5
1
Now you shall gather yourself in troops,
2
But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
3
Therefore he will abandon them until the time that she who is in labor gives birth.
4
He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of the LORD,
5
He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land
6
They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword,
7
The remnant of Jacob will be among many peoples
8
The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
9
Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries,
10
“It will happen in that day”, says the LORD,
11
I will cut off the cities of your land
12
I will destroy witchcraft from your hand.
13
I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars from among you;
14
I will uproot your Asherah poles from among you;
15
I will execute vengeance in anger
