Micah 5:7-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

7. Then the few remaining in Jacob will be amid many peopleslike dew from the Lord, like spring showers upon the grass,which does not hope for humans or wait for human ones.

8. Then the few remaining in Jacob will be among the nations,amid many peoples,like a lion among the creatures of the forest,like a young lion among flocksof sheep, which when it passes by, tramples and tears to pieceswith no one to deliver.

9. Your hand will be lifted over your foes;all your enemies will be cut off.

10. On that day—says the Lord—I will cut down your horses in your midst;I will destroy your chariots!

11. I will cut down the cities of your land;I will tear down your defenses!

12. I will demolish the sorceries you perform;you will have no more diviners!

13. I will cut down your imagesand your sacred pillars in your midst.You will no longer bow down to the works of your hands!

14. I will tear down your sacred poles in your midst;I will destroy your cities!

15. I will exact vengeance in angerand in wrath on the nations that don’t obey!
