Micah 5:5-7
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

5 And this man shall be our peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land, and when he shall set his foot in our houses: and we shall raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.

6 And they shall feed the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nemrod with the spears thereof: and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in our borders.

7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as a dew from the Lord, and as drops upon the grass, which waiteth not for man, nor tarrieth for the children of men.

Micah 5:5-7
New International Version

5 And he will be our peace(A)
    when the Assyrians invade(B) our land
    and march through our fortresses.
We will raise against them seven shepherds,
    even eight commanders,(C)
6 who will rule[a] the land of Assyria with the sword,
    the land of Nimrod(D) with drawn sword.[b](E)
He will deliver us from the Assyrians
    when they invade our land
    and march across our borders.(F)

7 The remnant(G) of Jacob will be
    in the midst of many peoples
like dew(H) from the Lord,
    like showers on the grass,(I)
which do not wait for anyone
    or depend on man.
