Micah 5:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version

5 This one will be their peace.
    When Assyria invades our land
    and tramples on our citadels,
    we will raise against him seven shepherds
    and eight leaders of men.
6 They will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword
    and the land of Nimrod with a drawn blade.[a]
    He will save us from Assyria
    when it invades our land
    and tramples on our territory.

The Remnant Among the Nations

7 There will be a surviving remnant of Jacob in the midst of many peoples,
        like dew from the Lord,
        like spring showers on the grass,
        which do not wait around for a man,
        and do not delay for human beings.[b]

Footnotes

  1. Micah 5:6 Or at its entrances
  2. Micah 5:7 The meaning of the last two lines is uncertain. They seem to mean that just as dew and rain come at God’s time without human initiative, so the return of God’s people will not depend on a human timetable.
