Micah 5
daughter of troops.
He has laid siege against us.
They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.
being small among the clans of Judah,
out of you one will come out to me that is to be ruler in Israel;
whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times.
Then the rest of his brothers will return to the children of Israel.
in the majesty of the name of Yahweh his God:
and they will live, for then he will be great to the ends of the earth.
and when he marches through our fortresses,
then we will raise against him seven shepherds,
and eight leaders of men.
and the land of Nimrod in its gates.
He will deliver us from the Assyrian,
when he invades our land,
and when he marches within our border.
like dew from Yahweh,
like showers on the grass,
that don’t wait for man,
nor wait for the sons of men.
among many peoples,
like a lion among the animals of the forest,
like a young lion among the flocks of sheep;
who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces,
and there is no one to deliver.
and let all of your enemies be cut off.
“that I will cut off your horses out from among you,
and will destroy your chariots.
and will tear down all your strongholds.
and you shall have no soothsayers.
and you shall no more worship the work of your hands.
and I will destroy your cities.
and wrath on the nations that didn’t listen.”
