Micah 5:5-10 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

5. They shall tend the land of Assyria with the sword,and the land of Nimrod with the drawn sword;They will deliver us from Assyria,when it invades our land,when it treads upon our borders.

6. The remnant of Jacob shall bein the midst of many peoples,Like dew coming from the Lord,like showers on the grass,Which wait for no one,delay for no human being.

7. And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations,in the midst of many peoples,Like a lion among beasts of the forest,like a young lion among flocks of sheep;When it passes through it tramples;it tears and no one can rescue.

8. Your hand shall be lifted above your foes,and all your enemies shall be cut down.

9. On that day—oracle of the Lord—I will destroy the horses from your midstand ruin your chariots;

10. I will destroy the cities of your landand tear down all your fortresses.
