Micah 5:5
Compare all
3 Therefore He shall give them up,
Until the time that ashe who is in labor has given birth;
Then bthe remnant of His brethren
Shall return to the children of Israel. 
4 And He shall stand and afeed 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 bshall be great
To the ends of the earth; 
5 And this One ashall be peace.
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. 

Judgment on Israel’s Enemies

6 They shall1 waste with the sword the land of Assyria,
And the land of aNimrod at its entrances;
Thus He shall bdeliver us from the Assyrian,
When he comes into our land
And when he treads within our borders. 
7 Then athe remnant of Jacob
Shall be in the midst of many peoples,
bLike dew from the Lord,
Like showers on the grass,
That1 tarry for no man
Nor1 wait for the sons of men. 
8 And the remnant of Jacob
Shall be among the Gentiles,
In the midst of many peoples,
Like a alion 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. 
9 Your hand shall be lifted against your adversaries,
And all your enemies shall be1 cut off. 
10 “And it shall be in that day,” says the Lord,
“That I will acut off your bhorses from your midst
And destroy your cchariots. 
11 I will cut off the cities of your land
And throw down all your strongholds.
12 I will cut off sorceries from your hand,
And you shall have no asoothsayers. 
13 aYour carved images I will also cut off,
And your sacred pillars from your midst;
You shall bno more worship the work of your hands;

<< Micah 5:4   Micah 5:6 >>


Micah 5:5

This man - The Messiah. The peace - Which is promised to the people of God; all their deliverances are not only for his sake, but effected by his power. Shall tread in our palaces - Which Sennacherib did in all the cities of Judah, except Jerusalem. We - Hezekiah, and with him the prophets and people, shall prevail with God to send deliverance. Seven shepherds - A certain number put for an uncertain.
