Micah 5:5-14 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. And this man will be our peace, when the Assyrian will come into our land, and when he will trample on our houses; and we will raise against him seven shepherds and eight principal men.

6. And they will graze on the land of Assur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with its spears; and he will free us from Assur, when he will come into our land, and when he will trample our borders.

7. And there will be a remnant of Jacob in the midst of many peoples, like a dew from the Lord and like drops upon the grass, which awaits no man and does not stand before the sons of men.

8. And there will be a remnant of Jacob within the Gentiles, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forests, and like a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, when he will pass through and trample down and seize, there is none who can rescue.

9. Your hand will be exalted over your enemies, and all your adversaries will pass away.

10. And it will be in that day, says the Lord: I will take away your horses from your midst, and I will utterly ruin your four-horse chariots.

11. And I will destroy the cities of your land, and I will pull down all your fortifications, and I will take away evil-doing from your hand, and there will be no divinations among you.

12. And I will cause your graven images to perish, and your statues, from your midst. And you will no longer adore the works of your hands.

13. And I will root out your sacred groves from your midst, and I will crush your cities.

14. And I will exact vengeance, in fury and in indignation, among all the nations which have not listened.
