ASV_Strong : Micah 5
1. Now shalt thou gather[H1413] thyself in troops[H1416], O daughter[H1323] of troops[H1416]: he hath laid[H7760] siege[H4692] against us[H5221]; they shall smite the judge[H8199] of Israel[H3478] with a rod[H7626] upon the cheek[H3895].
2. But thou[H1035], Beth-lehem Ephrathah[H672], which art little[H6810] to be among the thousands[H505] of Judah[H3063], out of thee shall one come forth[H3318] unto me that is to be ruler[H4910] in Israel[H3478]; whose goings forth[H4163] are from of old[H6924], from everlasting[H3117].
3. Therefore will he give them up[H5414], until the time[H6256] that she who travaileth[H3205] hath brought forth[H3205]: then the residue[H3499] of his brethren[H251] shall return[H7725] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478].
4. And he shall stand[H5975], and shall feed[H7462] his flock in the strength[H5797] of Jehovah[H3068], in the majesty[H1347] of the name[H8034] of Jehovah[H3068] his God[H430]: and they shall abide[H3427]; for now shall he be great[H1431] unto the ends[H657] of the earth[H776].
5. And this man shall be our peace[H7965]. When the Assyrian[H804] shall come[H935] into our land[H776], and when he shall tread[H1869] in our palaces[H759], then shall we raise[H6965] against him seven[H7651] shepherds[H7462], and eight[H8083] principal[H5257] men[H120].
6. And they shall waste[H7462] the land[H776] of Assyria[H804] with the sword[H2719], and the land[H776] of Nimrod[H5248] in the entrances[H6607] thereof[H5337]: and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian[H804], when he cometh[H935] into our land[H776], and when he treadeth[H1869] within our border[H1366].
7. And the remnant[H7611] of Jacob[H3290] shall be in the midst[H7130] of many[H7227] peoples[H5971] as dew[H2919] from Jehovah[H3068], as showers[H7241] upon the grass[H6212], that tarry[H6960] not for man[H376], nor wait[H3176] for the sons[H1121] of men[H120].
8. And the remnant[H7611] of Jacob[H3290] shall be among the nations[H1471], in the midst[H7130] of many[H7227] peoples[H5971], as a lion[H738] among the beasts[H929] of the forest[H3293], as a young lion[H3715] among the flocks[H5739] of sheep[H6629]; who[H5674], if he go through, treadeth down[H7429] and teareth in pieces[H2963], and there is none to deliver[H5337].
9. Let thy hand[H3027] be lifted up[H7311] above thine adversaries[H6862], and let all thine enemies[H341] be cut off[H3772].
10. And it shall come to pass in that day[H3117], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068], that I will cut off[H3772] thy horses[H5483] out of the midst[H7130] of thee[H6], and will destroy thy chariots[H4818]:
11. and I will cut off[H3772] the cities[H6145] of thy land[H776], and will throw down[H2040] all thy strongholds[H4013].
12. And I will cut off[H3772] witchcrafts[H3785] out of thy hand[H3027]; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers[H6049]:
13. and I will cut off[H3772] thy graven images[H6456] and thy pillars[H4676] out of the midst[H7130] of thee[H7812]; and thou shalt no more worship the work[H4639] of thy hands[H3027];
14. and I will pluck up[H5428] thine Asherim[H842] out of the midst[H7130] of thee[H8045]; and I will destroy thy cities[H6145].
15. And I will execute[H6213] vengeance[H5359] in anger[H639] and wrath[H2534] upon the nations[H1471] which hearkened not[H8085].
