Micah 5:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Micah 5:9

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;

14 I will pluck your¹ wooden images from your midst;
Thus I will destroy your cities.

15 And I will ^aexecute vengeance in anger and fury
On the nations that have not¹ heard.”
