Micah 5:7-15 - A Remnant Delivered

⁷ Then the remnant of Jacob
Will be among many peoples
Like dew from the Lord,
Like showers on vegetation
Which do not wait for man
Or delay for the sons of men.
⁸ The remnant of Jacob
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 he passes through,
Tramples down and tears,
And there is none to rescue.
⁹ Your hand will be lifted up against your adversaries,
And all your enemies will be cut off.

¹⁰ “It will be in that day,” declares the Lord,
“That I will cut off your horses from among you
And destroy your chariots.
¹¹ “I will also cut off the cities of your land
And tear down all your fortifications.
¹² “I will cut off sorceries from your hand,
And you will have fortune-tellers no more.
¹³ “I will cut off your carved images
And your sacred pillars from among you,
So that you will no longer bow down
To the work of your hands.
¹⁴ “I will root out your Asherim from among you
And destroy your cities.
¹⁵ “And I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath
On the nations which have not obeyed.”
