Micah

¹ “Now muster yourselves in troops, daughter of troops; They have laid siege against us; With a rod they will strike the judge of Israel on the cheek.

² Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from everlasting, From the ancient days.”

³ When she who is in childbirth has borne a child. Then the remainder of His brothers Will return to the sons of Israel.

⁴ In the strength of Yahweh, In the majesty of the name of Yahweh His God. And they will remain Because at that time He will be great To the ends of the earth.

⁵ When the Assyrian enters our land, When he treads on our citadels, Then we will raise against him Seven shepherds and eight princes of men.

⁶ The land of Nimrod at its entrances; And He will deliver us from the Assyrian When he enters our land And when he treads within our borders.

⁷ Will be among many peoples Like dew from Yahweh, Like showers on vegetation Which do not hope for man Or wait for the sons of men.

⁸ Will be among the nations, Among many peoples Like a lion among the beasts of the forest, Like a young lion among flocks of sheep, Which, if it passes through, Tramples down and tears, And there is none to deliver.

⁹ And all your enemies will be cut off.

¹⁰ “That I will cut off your horses from among you And destroy your chariots.

¹¹ And pull down all your fortifications.

¹² And you will have soothsaying no more.

¹³ And your sacred pillars from among you So that you will no longer worship The work of your hands.

¹⁴ And eradicate your cities.

¹⁵ On the nations which have not listened.”
