Micah 5 (HCSB)

Micah Chapter 5 (HCSB)

Compare with Version:

¹ [1]Now, daughter who is under attack, you slash yourself in grief; a siege is set against us! They are striking the judge ⓐ of Israel on the cheek with a rod.

² [2]Bethlehem Ephrathah, ⓑ you are small among the clans of Judah; One will come from you ⓒ to be ruler over Israel for Me. ⓓ His origin [3] is from antiquity, ⓔ from eternity. [4]

³ Therefore, He will abandon them ⓕ until the time when she who is in labor ⓖ has given birth; then the rest of His brothers ⓗ will return to the people of Israel. ⓘ

⁴ He will stand and shepherd them ⓙ in the strength of Yahweh, in the majestic name of Yahweh His God. They will live securely, for then His greatness will extend to the ends of the earth. ⓚ

⁵ He will be their peace. ⓛ When Assyria invades our land, ⓜ when it marches against our fortresses, we will raise against it seven shepherds, even eight leaders of men.

⁶ They will shepherd ⓝ the land of Assyria with the sword, the land of Nimrod ⓞ with a drawn blade. [5] So He will rescue us ⓟ from Assyria when it invades our land, when it marches against our territory.

⁷ Then the remnant of Jacob ⓠ will be among many peoples like dew from the LORD, ⓡ like showers on the grass, ⓢ which do not wait for anyone or linger for mankind.

⁸ Then the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, among many peoples, like a lion among animals of the forest, ⓣ like a young lion among flocks of sheep, which tramples ⓤ and tears ⓥ as it passes through, and there is no one to rescue them. ⓦ

⁹ Your hand will be lifted up against your adversaries, ⓧ and all your enemies will be destroyed.

¹⁰ In that day — — this is the LORD’s declaration — I will remove your horses from you ⓨ and wreck your chariots.

¹¹ I will remove the cities of your land ⓩ and tear down all your fortresses. ⓐ

¹² I will remove sorceries from your hands, ⓑ and you will not have any more fortune-tellers.

¹³ I will remove your carved images ⓒ and sacred pillars from you so that you will not bow down again to the work of your hands.

¹⁴ I will pull up the Asherah poles ⓓ from among you ⓔ and demolish your cities. [6]

¹⁵ I will take vengeance in anger and wrath ⓕ against the nations that have not obeyed Me.
