Micah 5:8-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

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!
