Micah 5
5
Birth of the King in Bethlehem
1“#5:1 Ch 4:14 in HebNow muster yourselves in troops, daughter of troops;
# 5:1 Lit He has They have laid siege against us;
With a rod they will strike the judge of Israel on the cheek.
2“#5:2 Ch 5:1 in HebBut as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Too little to be among the clans of Judah,
From you One will come forth for Me to be ruler in Israel.
His times of coming forth are from long ago,
From the days of eternity.”
3Therefore He will give them up until the time
When she who is in labor has given birth.
Then the remainder of His kinsmen
Will return to the sons of Israel.
4And He will arise and shepherd His flock
In the strength of the Lord,
In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God.
And they will #5:4 Or live in safetyremain,
Because #5:4 Lit nowat that time He will be great
To the ends of the earth.
5This One will be our peace.
When the Assyrian invades our land,
When he tramples on our #5:5 Or palacescitadels,
Then we will raise against him
Seven shepherds and eight leaders of people.
6They will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
The land of Nimrod at its entrances;
And He will rescue us from the Assyrian
When he invades our land,
And when he tramples our territory.
7¶Then the remnant of Jacob
Will be among many peoples
Like dew from the Lord,
Like showers on vegetation
That do not wait for man,
Or delay for #5:7 Lit sons of mankindmankind.
8The remnant of Jacob
Will be among the nations,
Among many peoples
Like a lion among the animals of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Which, if he passes through,
Tramples and tears,
And there is no one who can rescue.
9Your hand will be lifted up against your adversaries,
And all your enemies will be eliminated.
10¶“And it will be on that day,” declares the Lord,
“That I will eliminate your horses from among you,
And destroy your chariots.
11“I will also eliminate the cities of your land,
And tear down all your fortifications.
12“I will eliminate sorceries from your hand,
And you will have no fortune-tellers.
13“I will eliminate your carved images
And your memorial stones from among you,
So that you will no longer bow down
To the work of your hands.
14“I will uproot your #5:14 I.e., wooden symbols of a female deity (Asherah)Asherim from among you,
And destroy your cities.
15“And I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath
On the nations which have not obeyed.”
