Micah 5:6-9

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

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

6And they will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the blade drawn. So He will deliver us when Assyria invades our land and marches into our borders.

7Then the remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, which do not wait for man or linger for mankind.

8Then the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, which tramples and tears as it passes through, with no one to rescue them.

9Your hand will be lifted over your foes, and all your enemies will be cut off.
