Judgment on Israel’s Enemies
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.
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.
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.
“That I will acut off your bhorses from your midst
And destroy your cchariots.
And your sacred pillars from your midst;
You shall bno more worship the work of your hands;
On the nations that have not1 heard.”
| << Micah 5:7 | Micah 5:9 >> |
