New Testament

Micah 5:5-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

5. and He will be their peace. When Assyria enters our landand treads through our palaces,then we will raise up against him seven shepherdsand eight commanders of men.

6. They will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,and the land of Nimrod at her gates;He will rescue us from Assyria,when he enters our landand when he treads within our border.

7. Then the remnant of Jacob will bein the midst of many peoples,like dew from the Lord,like showers upon the grass,which do not wait for a manand do not linger for the sons of men.

8. The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,in the midst of many peoples,like a lion among the beasts of the forest,like a young lion among flocks of sheep,which when it passes through, tramples and mauls,without rescuer.

9. Your hand will be lifted up over your adversaries,and all your enemies will be cut off.

10. And in that day, declares the Lord, I will cut off your horses from among you,and I will destroy your chariots.

11. Then I will cut off the cities of your land,and I will overthrow your strongholds;

12. then I will cut off sorceries from your hand,and you will no longer have fortune-tellers.

13. Then I will cut off your idols,and your sacred stones from among you,and you will no longer bow downto the work of your hands;

14. then I will root out your Asherah idols from among you,and I will annihilate your cities.

15. And in anger and wrath I will take vengeanceon the nations that have not listened.
