Micah 5:10-15

The Ruler from Bethlehem and the Shepherd-King Who Brings Peace

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

10 “In that day,” declares the LORD, “I will remove your horses from among you and wreck your chariots.

11 I will remove the cities of your land and tear down all your strongholds.

12 I will cut the sorceries from your hand, and you will have no fortune-tellers.

13 I will also cut off the carved images and sacred pillars from among you, so that you will no longer bow down to the work of your own hands.

14 I will root out the Asherah poles from your midst and demolish your cities.

15 I will take vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations that have not obeyed Me.”
