Micah 5

5
1 # 5:1 Verse 5:1 is numbered 4:14 in Hebrew text. Mobilize! Marshal your troops!
The enemy is laying siege to Jerusalem.
They will strike Israel’s leader
in the face with a rod.
A Ruler from Bethlehem
2 # 5:2 Verses 5:2-15 are numbered 5:1-14 in Hebrew text. But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
are only a small village among all the people of Judah.
Yet a ruler of Israel,
whose origins are in the distant past,
will come from you on my behalf.
3The people of Israel will be abandoned to their enemies
until the woman in labor gives birth.
Then at last his fellow countrymen
will return from exile to their own land.
4And he will stand to lead his flock with the Lord’s strength,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
Then his people will live there undisturbed,
for he will be highly honored around the world.
5And he will be the source of peace.
When the Assyrians invade our land
and break through our defenses,
we will appoint seven rulers to watch over us,
eight princes to lead us.
6They will rule Assyria with drawn swords
and enter the gates of the land of Nimrod.
He will rescue us from the Assyrians
when they pour over the borders to invade our land.
The Remnant Purified
7Then the remnant left in Israel#5:7 Hebrew in Jacob; also in 5:8. See note on 1:5a.
will take their place among the nations.
They will be like dew sent by the Lord
or like rain falling on the grass,
which no one can hold back
and no one can restrain.
8The remnant left in Israel
will take their place among the nations.
They will be like a lion among the animals of the forest,
like a strong young lion among flocks of sheep and goats,
pouncing and tearing as they go
with no rescuer in sight.
9The people of Israel will stand up to their foes,
and all their enemies will be wiped out.
10“In that day,” says the Lord,
“I will slaughter your horses
and destroy your chariots.
11I will tear down your walls
and demolish your defenses.
12I will put an end to all witchcraft,
and there will be no more fortune-tellers.
13I will destroy all your idols and sacred pillars,
so you will never again worship the work of your own hands.
14I will abolish your idol shrines with their Asherah poles
and destroy your pagan cities.
15I will pour out my vengeance
on all the nations that refuse to obey me.”
