New Century Version

Micah 5:8-15 New Century Version (NCV)

8. Those of Jacob’s people who are left alivewill be scattered among many nations and peoples.They will be like a lion among the animals of the forest,like a young lion in a flock of sheep:As it goes, it jumps on themand tears them to pieces,and no one can save them.

9. So you will raise your fist in victory over your enemies,and all your enemies will be destroyed.

10. The Lord says, “At that time,I will take your horses from youand destroy your chariots.

11. I will destroy the cities in your countryand tear down all your defenses.

12. I will take away the magic charms you useso you will have no more fortune-tellers.

13. I will destroy your statues of godsand the stone pillars you worshipso that you will no longer worshipwhat your hands have made.

14. I will tear down Asherah idols from youand destroy your cities.

15. In my anger and rage,I will pay back the nations that have not listened.”
