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.

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

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

13I 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.

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

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