Micah 5:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

5 and he shall be the one of peace.

    If the Assyrians come into our land
    and tread upon our soil,[a]
we will raise against them seven shepherds
    and eight rulers.(A)
6 They shall rule the land of Assyria with the sword
    and the land of Nimrod with the drawn sword;[b]
they[c] shall rescue us from the Assyrians
    if they come into our land
    or tread within our border.(B)

The Future Role of the Remnant

7 Then the remnant of Jacob,
    surrounded by many peoples,
shall be like dew from the Lord,
    like showers on the grass,
which do not depend upon people
    or wait for any mortal.(C)
