Micah 5
5
1Now gather yourself in troops,
O daughter of troops;
He has laid siege against us;
They will #1 Kin. 22:24; Job 16:10; Lam. 3:30; Matt. 27:30; Mark 15:19strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.
The Coming Messiah
2“But you, #Is. 11:1; Matt. 2:6; Luke 2:4, 11; John 7:42Bethlehem #Gen. 35:19; 48:7; Ruth 4:11Ephrathah,
Though you are little #1 Sam. 23:23among the #Ex. 18:25thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be #(Gen. 49:10; Is. 9:6)Ruler in Israel,
#Ps. 90:2; (John 1:1)Whose goings forth are from of old,
From everlasting.”
3Therefore He shall give them up,
Until the time that #Hos. 11:8; Mic. 4:10she who is in labor has given birth;
Then #Mic. 4:7; 7:18the remnant of His brethren
Shall return to the children of Israel.
4And He shall stand and #(Is. 40:11; 49:9; Ezek. 34:13–15, 23, 24); Mic. 7:14feed His flock
In the strength of the Lord,
In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God;
And they shall abide,
For now He #Ps. 72:8; Is. 52:13; Zech. 9:10; (Luke 1:32)shall be great
To the ends of the earth;
5And this One #(Is. 9:6); Luke 2:14; (Eph. 2:14; Col. 1:20)shall be peace.
Judgment on Israel’s Enemies
When the Assyrian comes into our land,
And when he treads in our palaces,
Then we will raise against him
Seven shepherds and eight princely men.
6They shall waste with the sword the land of Assyria,
And the land of #Gen. 10:8–11Nimrod at its entrances;
Thus He shall #Is. 14:25; Luke 1:71deliver us from the Assyrian,
When he comes into our land
And when he treads within our borders.
7Then #Mic. 5:3the remnant of Jacob
Shall be in the midst of many peoples,
#Gen. 27:28; Deut. 32:2; Ps. 72:6; Hos. 14:5Like dew from the Lord,
Like showers on the grass,
That tarry for no man
Nor wait for the sons of men.
8And the remnant of Jacob
Shall be among the Gentiles,
In the midst of many peoples,
Like a #Gen. 49:9; Num. 24:9lion among the beasts of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Who, if he passes through,
Both treads down and tears in pieces,
And none can deliver.
9Your hand shall be lifted against your adversaries,
And all your enemies shall be cut off.
10“And it shall be in that day,” says the Lord,
“That I will #Zech. 9:10cut off your #Deut. 17:16horses from your midst
And destroy your #Is. 2:7; 22:18; Hos. 14:3chariots.
11I will cut off the cities of your land
And throw down all your strongholds.
12I will cut off sorceries from your hand,
And you shall have no #Deut. 18:10–12; Is. 2:6soothsayers.
13#Zech. 13:2Your carved images I will also cut off,
And your sacred pillars from your midst;
You shall #Is. 2:8no more worship the work of your hands;
14I will pluck your wooden images from your midst;
Thus I will destroy your cities.
15And I will #(2 Thess. 1:8)execute vengeance in anger and fury
On the nations that have not heard.”
