Micah 5:6-15 - Deliverance And Punishment

⁶ The shepherds will devastate the land of Assyria with the sword, along with the entrances to the land of Nimrod. "This is how he will vanquish Assyria when he invades our land, trampling within our borders:

⁷ The survivors of Jacob will live among many nations, as dew from the LORD, as showers upon the grass. They will look to no one, and will place no hope in human beings. ⁸ The survivors of Jacob will live among the nations; they will live among many nations, like a lion among flocks of sheep, who, if he passes through, will trample and tear down with no one to deliver. ⁹ You will turn your power against your adversaries, and all of your enemies will be cut down."

¹⁰ "It will come about at that time," declares the LORD, "I will tear away your horses from you, and I will destroy your chariots. ¹¹ I will cut off the cities of your land, and I will tear down all of your fortifications. ¹² I will render your witchcraft powerless, and mediums will no longer exist among you. ¹³ I will separate you from your carved images and sacred pillars, and you no longer will worship what you've made with your hands. ¹⁴ I will uproot your cultic gods from you, and I will tear down your cities. ¹⁵ I will execute vengeance, anger, and fury on the nations who do not obey."
