Mic 5:1 Now gather thyself
in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall
smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
Mic 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the
thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to
be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from
everlasting.
Mic 5:3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which
travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall
return unto the children of Israel.
Mic 5:4 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the
majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now
shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
Mic 5:5 And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into
our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise
against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
Mic 5:6 And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the
land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the
Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our
borders.
Mic 5:7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a
dew from the Lord, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for
man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
Mic 5:8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst
of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion
among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and
teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
Mic 5:9 Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all
thine enemies shall be cut off.
Mic 5:10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that I
will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy
chariots:
Mic 5:11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy
strong holds:
Mic 5:12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt
have no more soothsayers:
Mic 5:13 Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images
out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine
hands.
Mic 5:14 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will
I destroy thy cities.
Mic 5:15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen,
such as they have not heard. |
